Why study Palestinian Arabic online? Palestinian Arabic, part of the broader Southern Levantine dialect, is widely spoken by the people of Palestine and is renowned for its close alignment with Modern Standard Arabic, or “Fusha.” This dialect’s pronunciation of many letters closely mirrors classical Arabic, with only slight modifications, making it an excellent gateway for learning Standard Arabic. Mastering the Palestinian dialect, through Study Arabic Language, not only enables effective communication within the region but also enhances one’s proficiency in Standard Arabic, providing a solid foundation for both written and spoken language skills.

The Palestinian Arabic dialect offers a unique cultural perspective and is spoken by approximately 13 million people worldwide, both within Palestine and among the global Palestinian diaspora. This dialect reflects the rich history and diverse cultural heritage of Palestine, influenced by its geographical position and significant historical events.

Learning Palestinian Arabic opens doors to understanding Palestinian culture more deeply, fostering connections with the local community and the broader Arab world. It is particularly useful for those interested in Middle Eastern studies, international relations, and global business, as well as for anyone wishing to engage more fully with the vibrant and diverse cultural life of the region.

Online Courses for Your Convenience

Our Palestinian Arabic Online courses are available every day of the week to be as accessible as possible for you and your schedule. In addition to choosing which intensity is most fitting, you and your teacher will decide on the best meeting times according to schedules and time zones. We are more than happy to work with you to arrange class times that suit you.

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 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. Further variations are 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.
