“My Palestinian teacher, Lana Abu Fannar, is absolutely amazing. She has an in-depth knowledge of both the grammatical nuances and structures of Palestinian Arabic, as well as the everyday language used by locals in Palestine. As a Palestinian who grew up in North America without learning Arabic, I initially felt a lot of fear and guilt about not being fluent in my mother tongue. Lana has completely changed that by making me feel comfortable, confident, and capable in my learning journey.
She encourages me to speak up, ask questions, and address anything that isn’t clear, ensuring that I truly understand the language and can correct my mistakes. Her patience, guidance, and supportive teaching style have made learning Palestinian Arabic both effective and enjoyable.
Thanks to Lana, I feel more connected to my heritage and much more confident communicating with Palestinians in our native language. This has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I would highly recommend her lessons to anyone looking to learn Palestinian Arabic in a supportive, structured, and culturally enriching way.”— Zahra Sakkejha, Canada
