“Everyone at the Study Palestinian Arabic Institute in Hebron, Palestine, made me feel so welcome. My Arabic lessons were fun, engaging, and incredibly informative. I learned so much—not only about the Arabic language but also about Palestinian culture and daily life. My teacher was knowledgeable, supportive, and excellent at explaining concepts in English, making every lesson accessible and interesting. We worked at my own pace, and I could ask questions and tailor the lessons to my interests and learning goals.
Although the situation in Palestine is very sad, I felt safe and welcomed during my stay in Al Khalil (Hebron). The local people were friendly and eager to share the best of Palestine with me. The team at the Study Palestinian Arabic Institute was available whenever I needed assistance, which helped me feel supported throughout my experience. I also made friendships that I know will last a lifetime. The food was amazing, and I even learned how to cook some local dishes!
My advice to anyone considering learning Arabic in Palestine is simple: book the experience and come! Studying in Palestine is a wonderful opportunity to discover a beautiful country, experience its culture, and meet incredible people. The Study Palestinian Arabic Institute helped me explore important sites and experience local life while providing a supportive environment for my studies.
After just one month, my Arabic had improved significantly, and I felt much more confident speaking Arabic with other people. The combination of personalized Arabic lessons, cultural activities, and everyday conversations made learning both effective and enjoyable. I am incredibly grateful to the Study Palestinian Arabic Institute’s wonderful staff and volunteers for making this such a memorable experience.
Would I do it all over again? Absolutely—and I would stay longer! I only wish I had saved enough money to extend my stay and continue improving my Arabic.” Becca
