This series of Arabic courses will be dedicated to teaching the daily-spoken Levantine dialect. We will surely come across words from the Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) language, or as officially known as “Fos-ha”, however, we elected to teach you a language you can use with your friends.

What should you expect?

In this learning level, we will build on your existing knowledge (see contents of previous Level 1 here) of basic vocabs and grammars to improve your comprehension using new topics, help you practice the words you know, and support your established skills, in addition to employing this knowledge in real life scenarios. With the help of the Arabic Language booklet - designed by your teacher Lilas, Level 2 is designed to utilize the words you are learning to carry out a meaningful short conversation, order your favorite “Shami” platter, shop around Arab markets for your desired merchandises, and talk about such topics in different tenses. As you experienced in the first level, we will make sure that we have fun learning using in-class activities, videos, and songs.

Why Levantine?

Learning a language is always about engaging with the community and getting a true sense of what that language represents to locals, and how they interact on a daily basis. That’s why we chose for our course the Levantine dialect, one of the six main varieties of colloquial Arabic spoken across the Arab world, as it is the main vernacular spoken in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Jordan. Compared to the Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), used more formally, Levantine dialect is easier to pronounce and understand, widely spoken, and more accessible, being adopted by most of the art and cultural movements in the Arab world.
