for Absolute Beginners

Speak and understand Levantine Arabic, learn reading and writing the Arabic script

Description

Learn reading the Arabic script, speaking in Levantine Arabic (Lebanon, Syria dialect) and build a vocabulary of 300 words!

In this course, you learn Arabic the way Arabs use their language: you learn reading and understanding Modern Standard Arabic, while speaking a colloquial variation of Arabic: Levantine Arabic (which is the dialect of Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and North Jordan). Levantine Arabic is one of the most popular dialects in the Arab world because of the music, movies and series which are produced in this region and are very popular throughout the Arabic world. Levantine Arabic is also generally considered as a soft and musical language.

Active participation is required in order to practice speaking, reading and interactive games.

Part of the lesson is dedicated to the Arabic alphabet, using a unique method developed by the “iMasterArabic” language institute. You practice reading words, then sentences. You also learn the rules of writing; how to connect the letters together to form words.

In parallel, you learn and practice basic conversation in Levantine Arabic (Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, North Jordan): greeting and formalities, talking about yourself and getting to know someone, offering and asking for a drink, and counting.
