CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN PALESTINE?

This course will pave the road to understanding a community made up of many different traditions, beliefs, and opinions. From the traditional ‘Dabkah’ dance to the vibrant music scene, and from traditional cuisines to contemporary politics, our course takes you beyond the surface level attention Palestine usually gets. We will learn Arabic while shuffling our way through the Palestinian media, politics, and try to establish a balanced intellectual inquiry. Come and have an open dialogue with your peers in Arabic, and try to find a new heartfelt understanding of Palestinian society.

​

This is a conversational course that works with English transliteration instead of the Arabic alphabet- you will study spoken Arabic in the Palestinian dialect (Amia). Our classes are based on the principle of immersion, meaning we'll stick to Arabic in class as much as possible- but if we need to explain in a different language, our go-to-language is English to accommodate the diversity of backgrounds among our students.
