I face everyday the hard challenge of talking to cousins and family who can only speak
the Lebanese Dialect of Arabic. We often have awkward encounters and end up not talking to each other. I would really like to learn this particular dialect of Arabic since this will aid me with my confidence and mentality in speaking to them and impressing them. I have tried many things such as YouTube or books, but they are all either MSA (Modern Standard Arabic) or too simple. I would like to speak it fluently and confidently as best as I can. Thanks in advance, Matthew 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hi,
Going from easiest to hardest: Pimsleur Eastern Arabic - not free SyrianArabic.com - not free anymore GLOSS Levantine (with audio, transcripts and translation) - free YouTube series such as Beirut I Love You and Shankaboot with English subtitles -free Shahid TV app for many MBC programmes - free SBS radio -free 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

Thanks for your reply! I really like the 'Beirut I Love You' series. Are there any
resources that can teach you about grammar such as verbs and pronouns? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I would imagine Pimsleur and SyrianArabic.com would take you through the pronouns and verbs. There's
also a decent book called Colloqiual Arabic Levantine which could help. You might be able to get this and Pimsleur from a library. I think it is important to listen and not just read, so if you se this book, you should get the mp3 which accompanies it.

I am also having trouble understanding the concept of the Singular, Dual and Plural
classification. Are there any resources that will help me with that? The resources above do not show me anything about it 1 person has voted this message useful | |

There is a free DLI Syrian Arabic course:
https://jlu.wbtrain.com/sumtotal/language/DLI%20basic%20cour ses/Syrian%20Arabic/ Notice the space in the word "courses" in the url, close it,copy it and paste it in the url, or just google "dli syrian arabic" like I did :) Also, if you use pimsleur make sure the first level is second edition, because it won't match up with level 2 and 3 otherwise.
