We have something for everyone. So why choose an online Arabic course with Engage in Palestine? Let us tell you!
Expert Instructors
Our instructors are native Arabic speakers, skilled in instruction at different levels, and passionate about teaching. They will work with you 1:1 to understand your language learning strengths, areas of focus, and help you achieve your goals. They are very used to hearing Arabic spoken in different accents and will guide you as you master some of the trickier pronunciation!
Interactive Learning
Many Arabic courses, especially those run through universities, tend to focus on the grammar and structure of the language rather than speaking. At Engage in Palestine, we believe interactive learning is one of the best ways to embed a new language. Our teachers will help you overcome any nervousness or shyness and quickly get you talking in your chosen dialect. They will also help you to understand the connections between culture and language, giving you a well-rounded education on Arabic.
Personalized Approach
Our courses are completely tailored to your language learning goals. In Arabic language learning, there are a variety of different dialects and applications for Arabic. Some people come to Engage in Palestine wanting a better understanding of Arabic as it is used in the news, some want to speak with friends or family members from a specific country, and some want to gain a new language for work. Whatever your interest or motivation, we’re happy to tailor your course to suit your needs.
Flexible Scheduling
A lot of people might be put off doing a language course because of timetable clashes. We get it – life is busy! People have different availability, so our courses aren’t scheduled for specific times or days that you have to try and fit into. Instead, we can work with you to find a timetable that suits you. Whether you have a couple of hours a week or 20, we can help arrange a time that suits you.
Affordable & High-Quality Education
Compared to a lot of Arabic courses that are available online, Engage in Palestine is incredibly affordable.

Don’t just take our word for it! Hear from one of our students or read more reviews on our page at GoOverseas.
“I have been learning spoken Levantine Arabic for about three months now online. My teacher is Doha. She is fantastic. I am making steady progress, and she is patient and encouraging. Arabic is more challenging to learn for me. It is helpful that she is a proper language teacher and can explain things well. The materials she is using to teach are really excellent, and the lessons are well planned. All that makes it very helpful as I am a bit older now and have never been a natural linguist!” Alexandra, 48, Online Student.
Types of Online Arabic Courses Offered
Beginner Courses
Our beginner courses are available in Modern Standard Arabic or the Levantine or Palestinian dialects. Beginners will start with basic vocabulary, phrases, and grammar in ‘Arabeasy’ – an English transliteration of Arabic that can help people learn to speak Arabic without needing to be able to read the script. Later in the course, you will be introduced to the Arabic alphabet and work on some basic reading and writing.
This course is focused on speaking and listening skills which enable you to have basic conversations in Arabic from early on!
Intermediate & Advanced Courses
The intermediate and advanced courses build on a beginner foundation, delving deeper into grammar, writing and conversation. Here, you can focus more on a specific dialect, learn vocabulary for a specific topic or purpose, and practice your speaking skills as you get more confident with your vocabulary. These levels also include lessons on the context of Arabic, exploring the history and culture of the language.
These courses focus on building your Arabic in the direction of your language learning goals and giving a well-rounded foundational education.
Conversation & Fluency Courses
These courses focus on developing your speaking confidence and moving you closer to fluency.
You will focus on expanding your vocabulary, sharing your ideas and opinions on different subjects, and practice conversation for real-world settings like travel, work or socialising.
These courses are available for people with a strong foundation in an Arabic dialect and are designed to take your language skills from good to great.

Language Immersion

Learning about culture alongside language also gives you the benefit of immersion without needing to leave your computer!
Flexible Scheduling
1:1 online learning gives you the advantage of planning around your own schedule rather than trying to fit your schedule around a course with set days and times.

Åke Strandberg – Sweden
I have been taking on-line classes in Colloquial Arabic for about a year and a half now. My teacher is Haya Maswadi and she is really the best possible tutor. Starting as an absolute beginner, I have now learned the alphabet so that I can read and write simple sentences and messages. Learning Arabic this way has been an amazing adventure, and with the help and support of Haya I have made progress far beyond my expectations! My most heartfelt thanks to Haya and the Center!
George El Aurens – Turkey
I had online Arabic lessons with Saja. We initially discussed all my requirements and she fully understood what I was trying to achieve.I was looking for basic day to day conversation Saja subsequently implemented what we had discussed and put in place a well structured series of lessons tailored to my needs and objectives and I was able to achieve my objectives fairly quickly Saja was fun to work with and made learning enjoyable. Highly recommended. I am looking forward to my visit in person next year.
