Why you should study Arabic?

The Arabic language or the language of Daad is one of the most widespread languages within the group of Semitic languages, in the countries of the Arab world in addition to many other regions such as Turkey, Ahwaz, Mali, Chad, Senegal, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Iran, and South Sudan.

The Arabic language represents an ancient Arab and Islamic culture and civilization, and it is a living, contemporary language that represents a wide segment of human societies that belong to a vital geographical area that is the focus of the world’s attention.

Given the increasing demand for Arabic language learning by non-native speakers, for various motives; Political, diplomatic, economic, religious, cultural, educational, touristic, communicative, and others and the Arab Library’s lack of quality programs concerned with teaching Arabic, the Palestinian Center for Education worked to build an integrated program for teaching Arabic to non-native speakers to achieve the beneficiaries’ goals in a distinctive, updated and unconventional educational style.

What are the differences between MSA and the Palestinian Arabic?

Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)

Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), or Fus’ha, is the formal and standardized form of the Arabic language used across the Arab world. It serves as the medium for written communication in literature, official documents, and media broadcasts such as news and formal speeches.

MSA adheres to strict grammatical rules and remains consistent regardless of regional variations, making it a unifying tool for communication among Arabic speakers from different countries. However, it is rarely spoken in daily life and is primarily learned through formal education. Its precise and structured nature makes it ideal for professional and academic contexts.

Levantine Arabic – Palestinian Ammiya

Palestinian Ammiya, a dialect of Levantine Arabic, is the spoken vernacular used in everyday communication in Palestine. Unlike MSA, Ammiya is informal and deeply rooted in local culture, reflecting the region’s unique history and influences from languages like Turkish, Hebrew, and English.

Its grammar is less rigid, and its vocabulary often diverges from MSA, making it more accessible for casual interactions. Palestinian Ammiya is highly dynamic, evolving through social and generational changes, and is learned naturally at home and within the community. While not used for formal writing or official purposes, it serves as the lifeblood of everyday conversation and cultural identity.

Navigation Guide : Navigate with Ease

What visa do you need to Study Arabic in Palestine?

To join the Intensive Arabic Immersion in Palestine program, obtaining an Israeli tourist visa allowing a stay of up to 3 months is necessary. Acquiring a volunteer visa directly in Palestine can be challenging.

Visa Requirements for Palestine

If you’re planning to join an Intensive Arabic in Palestine program and you’re from a country that has a visa exemption agreement with Israel, you can usually obtain a tourist visa on arrival. This is possible at Ben Gurion Airport (Tel Aviv) or the Allenby-King Hussein Bridge border crossing. In most cases, travelers from countries such as the United States and various European nations receive a 90-day tourist visa upon entry, giving you ample time to explore and study.

However, if your home country does not have an exemption agreement with Israel, it is essential to obtain a visa from the Israeli embassy or consulate in your home country before your visit. It’s worth noting that Israel now issues visas on a separate card containing a barcode to avoid passport stamps, as some Arab countries do not accept Israeli passport stamps. Ensure to verify whether your native country participates in a visa exemption agreement.

What if your passport isn’t suitable for a tourist visa?

For those interested in joining an Intensive Arabic in Palestine program, it’s important to note that individuals from countries like Pakistan and India must secure a visa from the Israeli embassy in their home country prior to travel. This requirement stems from the fact that Israel controls all entry points into Palestine. As a result, obtaining a visa is a mandatory first step—even before beginning the volunteer or study application process.

Is the West Bank safe?

Yes, the West Bank is generally considered safe for travelers and students. Most incidents tend to happen far from the main city centers where Arabic language programs are based. Cities such as Hebron, Bethlehem, and Ramallah—home to many volunteering and Intensive Arabic in Palestine opportunities—usually offer a stable and welcoming environment for international visitors.

Arabic students often find the local community welcoming and supportive, which adds to the overall feeling of security. Nevertheless, we encourage participants to stay updated on local news and follow any guidance provided by their hosts to ensure their safety.
