Renowned for its similarity to Modern Standard Arabic, also known as “Fusha,” it’s an ideal choice for language learners.

Online Courses for Your Convenience

Our Palestinian Arabic Online courses are offered every day of the week to ensure maximum accessibility for you and your schedule. Beyond selecting the preferred intensity level, you and your Palestinian instructor will collaborate to determine the optimal meeting times, accommodating different schedules and time zones.

Take a Free Arabic Lesson Online 

You will need to fill out an application form, after which you will have the chance to meet your Palestinian Arabic teacher and participate in a complimentary trial lesson.

The initial Arabic class functions as a no-cost trial (No payment required), and if you find both the Arabic lesson and the teacher satisfactory, you can then move forward with registering and making payment for the online Arabic course fees.

Connect With Palestinian Diaspora

Studying Palestinian Arabic Online is also an ideal opportunity for those wishing to connect with the wider Palestinian diaspora and to immerse themselves in the diverse culture of Palestine. Palestinian Arabic is spoken by approximately 13 million people, not just in Palestine but among the Palestinian diaspora worldwide.

It is one of the most widely-spoken and recognizable dialects of Arabic. Palestinian Arabic, although a sub dialect of Levantine Arabic, can itself  vary between villages. There are further variations originating from the rural Fellahi and Bedouin and the urban Madani tribes. Despite these many variants and sub dialects, Palestinian Arabic remains recognizable throughout Arabic-speaking countries and the Arab diaspora.

The culture of Palestine is rich and diverse due to its long history, geographical position and religious significance. Palestine lies at a crossroads between Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Mediterranean, and has played host to at least 5 major empires. Because of its significance in one of the most influential regions in the world, Palestinian Arabic is widely spoken and understood.

Palestinian Colloquial Arabic closely resembles Modern Standard Arabic – the standard form used for writing and official purposes – making this dialect ideal for those wishing to study written Arabic or to use Arabic in professional environments.
