Wish I Could Stay Forever

“I absolutely loved my three months in the intensive Arabic program at the Study Palestinian Arabic Institute in Hebron, Palestine, and I cannot wait to return in the future. My Arabic teacher, Haya, was incredible. Before arriving, I couldn’t read a single Arabic letter, and I never imagined that by the end of my stay, I would be reading and writing Arabic so well! Haya challenged me, encouraged me, and helped me believe in myself even when the lessons felt difficult. I will miss seeing her every day, along with all the other wonderful staff at the center.

Osama and Marwa were amazing hosts who were always available whenever I needed guidance or assistance. They organized a variety of memorable activities and made sure I could experience everything Al Khalil (Hebron) had to offer during my stay. Their kindness and hospitality made me feel like part of the family, and I will miss them so much.

Coming to Palestine and spending three months studying Arabic at the Study Palestinian Arabic Institute was truly one of the best decisions I have ever made. The combination of intensive Arabic lessons, supportive teachers, and cultural immersion in Hebron helped me make remarkable progress, even as a complete beginner. Beyond learning to read and write Arabic, I gained meaningful connections and unforgettable memories.

I cannot recommend the Study Palestinian Arabic Institute highly enough to anyone who wants to learn Arabic in Palestine, improve their language skills through an intensive study program, and experience Palestinian culture firsthand. My three months here were truly life-changing, and I only wish I could have stayed longer!” Christy, USA
