Lebanese Arabic Phrasebook Vol. 1


Book Description

A very practical way to learn Lebanese This is a Lebanese Arabic phrasebook, in a sense that it is designed to both: 1- Give you all you need to know to get by speaking Lebanese when travelling to Lebanon 2- Offer you a very practical and easy way of learning the dialect Method found to be very efficient by students The method and phrases used in this book have been developing since 2011 through my teachings of the Lebanese dialect through video lessons on youtube, as well as private lessons on skype. They have been tweaked and are constantly evolving through the feedback of the students, focusing on what they find to be useful and efficient. Every phrase is linked to a video so you could perfect the pronunciation. The most important aspect of learning a new language is to hear it being spoken by natives. Especially since Lebanese is considered as "spoken Arabic." That is why the advantage of this book is that EVERY word and sentence used, is linked to the video in which it was taught, so you can hear it, and try to master the pronunciation. Translation and Transliteration Each English phrase is translated to Lebanese using the Arabic alphabet for those who are Arabic literate, and then in its turn transliterated to the Latin alphabet for those who aren't. Exercises and Puzzles In order to help you master the material, there are exercises and puzzle at the end of the book, such as crosswords and word search.

Speak Lebanese


Book Description

The Lebanese language, in its current form, is only a spoken language. Despite the common misconception that Lebanese is a form of the Arabic language, the Lebanese language has evolved from its original Aramaic form to a language highly differentiated from the Arabic language. Lebanese people have adopted Arabic as their written language. However, if you are interested in learning a language that allows you to communicate with people in Lebanon, you should know that speaking Arabic in Beirut is like speaking Spanish in Rome. Some people might understand you but nobody will reply back in Arabic. Many language self-help books provide a range of translated phrases and simulated dialogue. 'SPEAK LEBANESE' is not a book of phrases. The aim of this book is to provide an understanding of the language from a grammatical perspective. You will learn through this book how to pronounce the letters, the rules for conjugating most Lebanese verbs (with a supplemental library of 426 verbs each conjugated in 6 tenses, ) you will find a brief English-Lebanese dictionary of commonly used words and tips for using Lebanese words properly in a sentence. It is important to know that countless dialect variations exist in Lebanon. However, the differences are not significant and all Lebanese people understand each other easily. This book offers one of the forms of these dialects and tries to choose the simplest form of communication when many options exist.

Free audio downloads available at www.lingualism.com/ava If you’re learning Arabic, you’ve probably started with Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). Or perhaps a dialect? You might be learning both MSA and a dialect (or two!) in tandem. And you’re certainly aware that there are many more dialects out there. It may seem daunting. But just how similar and different are they from one another? If you’re curious, this book is for you. Arabic vs. Arabic: A Dialect Sampler lets you explore the vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar of 15 varieties of Arabic (14 dialects and MSA) through tables with notes and free, downloadable accompanying audio. You can go through the tables in order or skip around the book to see what catches your attention. The book really is meant to be a sampler platter to give you a taste of each dialect and a better understanding of just how varied the various varieties of Arabic are. The layout encourages the self-discovery method of learning. While the notes under many tables identify points of interest, you are encouraged to find patterns, exceptions, innovative features of dialects, and universals by studying the tables and listening to the audio tracks.
