Study Arabic Online provides a range of Jordanian Arabic online programs tailored to assist non-Arabic speaking expatriates in integrating more effectively within the local community. Our courses place a strong emphasis on practical conversation, focusing on vocabulary relevant to daily situations.
Jordanian Arabic, also known as Jordanian Colloquial Arabic (Ammiya Jordanian Arabic) or simply Jordanian, is a variant of Arabic spoken in Jordan. It falls under the category of Levantine Arabic (Shami Arabic), encompassing a group of Arabic dialects spoken in the Levant region, which includes Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine.
In contrast to Modern Standard Arabic, which is employed in formal settings and written communication, Jordanian Arabic serves as the spoken language in everyday conversations. It reflects the local culture and incorporates colloquial expressions specific to Jordan. Acquiring proficiency in Jordanian Arabic is especially advantageous for expatriates or individuals seeking to communicate effectively within the Jordanian community, fostering a deeper connection with the local environment.
