Why Should I Enroll in the Intensive Arabic Immersion Program?
Here are a few reasons for joining the Intensive Arabic Immersion program in Palestine, West Bank:
1. Fastest Way to Learn Arabic
The Year-Round Intensive Arabic Courses and Summer Intensive Arabic programs are the best option for those who want to accelerate their language learning. We give students 4-6 hours of Arabic sessions every day. You will complete the equivalent of one semester of Arabic language study in just four weeks, resulting in increased language retention and proficiency.
2. Connect with Palestinian Culture
Our Arabic program is the best way to achieve language proficiency for people who want to learn Arabic in the West Bank, Palestine. Practice with local Palestinian and native speakers whilst living their daily life. We also offer the opportunity to stay with a local Palestinian host family for further immersion. Acquiring the Palestinian spoken dialect will connect you with the region’s rich history and will help you better understand its contemporary role in the Arab world and internationally.
3. Wide Selection of Dialects
Choose from a range of dialects, such as Modern Standard Arabic, Levantine (Shami/Ammiya) colloquial dialects, and Classical and Palestinian Arabic. These courses are perfect for you whether you need to learn or improve your Arabic for work, business, travelling, religion or any other reason.
Non-Intensive, Intensive, or Super-Intensive Arabic Courses
All Arabic course levels at our Arabic language school are offered in a variety of intensities, which determine the frequency of lessons as well as the amount of immersion and out-of-classroom coursework.
- Non-intensive Arabic classes meet for a total of 12 hours each week, with 3 hours of study per day, three days per week. This intensity is intended to provide you with ample in-class immersion while also allowing you to explore the city of Hebron thoroughly. Students interested in a long-term program (anything from 1 to 3 months) should enroll in a non-intensive Arabic course.
- Following that, the intense Arabic course is meant to further immerse you in the Arabic language and culture; these sessions are 20 hours per week, with around 4 hours of Arabic language teaching per day, 5 days per week. Intensive Arabic courses will also include extra homework and out-of-class assignments.
- The super intense Arabic program, the third and final course level, is for people who seek a totally immersive, high-intensity, classroom-oriented experience. These courses offer a total of 30 hours of Arabic lessons per week, with 5 hours of language teaching per day, 5 days per week. We usually propose super-intensive courses to students enrolled in short-term Arabic programs because of the increased study load (1 – 4 weeks).
