I take MSA in college, but we are into the al-Kitaab series of great fame, and it's MSA
and a little bit of Egyptian thrown in. I am interested having Lebanese as my focus of study for colloquial. (I really like Lebanon) Are there any good books out there for the study of Lebanese/Levantine colloquial? I found a few on Amazon, but there are more for people that have no MSA experience or don't know the arab script (boo for transliteration) I'm looking for something that is for people with a standard background in Arabic, and I am also open to books that are French/Lebanese as I reckon that could work too... شكراً 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Are you aware that there is a new 3rd edition of alkitaab, which as well as covering MSA. also covers Egyptian and Levantine dialects in more depth? For example all new vocab is given in the 3 varieties side by side, the grammar of the dialects is explained. I'm not using myself as I don't find it too good for self study. I believe there are also Leventine DVD versions of the story.

DLI has a transition course for those who have studied MSA to Levantine.

Ah! I wish that my school was using the 3rd ed. Hopefully we will for the subsequent books. That's good to know. I'm glad they've decided to add Levantine, and put all three forms next to each other. That makes so much more sense. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
