Learning Arabic online with Khalil

My name is Khalil Estaytieh, originally from Bethlehem and also an Israeli citizen. I’m a qualified Arabic teacher with more than 20 years of teaching, assessing and preparing Arabic exams to both, native and non- native speakers in Jerusalem and the UK . I taught Arabic from 1997 – 2009 at the Anglican International School in Jerusalem, after which time, I moved to England and have been teaching Arabic at Bath and Exeter universities. I am also an external examiner for Arabic at Coventry and Cambridge university.

My mission is to help you learn the Arabic language using a unique friendly, fun technique that will not only enhance your writing, speaking, and reading skills but will give you an insight of the Arab culture and rich history.

After studying Arabic with Khalil for a year, I can say that he's an excellent pedagogue with a wonderful demeanor and terrific sense of humor. He makes everyone feel at ease and responds well to the needs of individuals as well as of the group. In other words: Mumtaz! (Excellent) Joe Friedman

I have taken six classes with the fantastic Arabic (Palestinian dialect) teacher Khalil. We started with very basic vocabulary and phrases using English letters. We had exercises, homework, audio recordings, a text book and other resources. . His teaching method is very effective. We eventually learned to read and pronounce Arabic script. Khalil was fantastic in helping us make the challenging and exciting transition. I strongly recommend this course with Khalil. Mark Zober
