Levantine Arabic is the dialect of educated Palestinians around Beirut and Lebanon, but is intelligible in most urban areas of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Israel. Since most of the sounds of Levantine Arabic also occur in other Arabic dialects, the course can also be used in the study of those dialects. Learn Levantine Arabic for travel, for work, for school, or for fun, and learn it quickly as you follow along with the same full immersion Levantine Arabic course used to teach U.S. Diplomats.

Teaching Method

Many Levantine Arabic language courses only give you part of the picture, by focusing on memorizing words and phrases-with the hope that you will someday be able to parrot them back. This method, while effective in expanding your vocabulary, does not teach you the underlying structure of the language. Speaking a foreign language is a creative act. You need to understand the rules of Levantine Arabic in order to speak your own sentences. Courses that rely on memorization alone ignore this fact.

In contrast to the memorization only approach, Foreign Service Levantine Arabic utilizes a holistic teaching method. By focusing on teaching all aspects of the language, you’ll learn to speak Levantine Arabic, rather than just a list of Levantine Arabic words and phrases. Using a straight-forward, easy to follow presentation that uses both Levantine Arabic audio and a course book, you will be exposed to everything you need to know to start speaking Levantine Arabic fluently. By following lessons in the text and practicing with the course audio you will learn:

• Levantine Arabic Vocabulary and Phrases
• How to Speak Levantine Arabic with Correct Pronunciation

Learn Levantine Arabic rapidly with practical, enjoyable exercises, focused review sessions, and real life conversations. With an easy to use, sensible, and effective format, you will see why this course has been used by the Foreign Service for decades.
