Discover Jordanian Arabic in a practical and accessible way in Petra, with a native teacher who will guide you through the most commonly used everyday expressions. This experience was created especially for travellers who want to communicate better during their trip and have more authentic interactions with the local population.
The activity kicks off with a simple intro to the Arabic spoken in Jordan, clearly explaining the difference between classical Arabic and the Jordanian dialect. Next, you'll learn essential greetings, polite expressions, and useful phrases for common situations like shopping, ordering in stores, markets, and social interactions.
The main focus of the class is practice. You'll participate in role-play exercises and experience real situations, putting the language to use in local environments, always with the support and guidance of the teacher. She'll follow along with the interactions, helping with pronunciation, vocabulary, and cultural understanding.
By the end of the experience, you'll feel more confident greeting people, negotiating prices, asking simple questions, and connecting respectfully and naturally with the residents of Petra. The activity includes simple support material, in printed or digital format, so you can keep practising after class.
An unforgettable and authentic cultural experience.
