In addition to English, there is also an interest among people in Nablus to learn French.
We have expanded our French program over the past year so that now we provide regular French classes and summer camps and have more French-speaking staff and local volunteers.

French can be useful for employment, scholarship opportunities, and for communication with French speaking countries and organizations. There is also a genuine desire to learn more about French culture.  The principles behind the French classes are much the same as those for the English classes. The classes are meant to be about fun, personal development, and practical use of the language. Our focus is more on actual communication than grammar rules.  In the past, our French volunteers have conducted activities such as acting and filming a documentary in order to provide their students with entertainment activities while simultaneously learning French.

Our French classes are held in centers in the refugee camps and in the old city.  We also work closely with the French Cultural Center to provide conversation classes.  Most of the students are at the beginner level, but we also have long-term students who have progressed to the intermediate level.


French classes help Palestinians to better communicate with people from other cultures. Communication enhances dialogue and understanding, and leads to positive cooperation. The language classes also provide people with something fun and social to do. They are a positive and constructive way for people to express themselves. French classes are completely dependent on the availability of foreign volunteers. We encourage applicants who speak French as a first language to volunteer to teach with us.

Other Languages

We do not normally provide language classes other than in English and French. However, we have on occasion in the past provided classes in languages such as Spanish and Italian. If you are interested in teaching a class other than English or French, please contact us to find out the possibility, we might be able to make a special arrangement for you.
