THE DIALECT
What is Levantine Arabic?
Levantine Arabic (Shami) is the everyday spoken Arabic of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine. It is one of the most widely understood Arabic dialects in the world, thanks to its music, TV series and the large Levantine communities across Europe, the Gulf and the Americas.
Unlike Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), which is used in news and books, Levantine is the Arabic people actually speak at home, with friends, in shops and at work. If you want to talk with Lebanese, Syrian, Jordanian or Palestinian family, friends or colleagues, Levantine is the Arabic to learn.
The good news: Levantine is often considered one of the friendliest dialects for beginners. The grammar is simpler than MSA and the pronunciation is soft and clear, so you can start holding real conversations quickly.

Is Levantine Arabic hard to learn?
Levantine is often considered one of the most accessible Arabic dialects for beginners. Its grammar is simpler than Modern Standard Arabic and the pronunciation is soft and clear. With a speaking-first method, most learners hold simple conversations within a few months.
Should I learn Levantine or Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)?
If your goal is to speak with people from Lebanon, Syria, Jordan or Palestine, start with Levantine: it is what they speak every day. MSA is useful for reading news, books and formal texts. Many of our students start with Levantine and add MSA later.
Will Levantine Arabic be understood in other Arab countries?
Yes. Thanks to Levantine music, TV series and large communities abroad, Levantine is widely understood across the Arab world, from the Gulf to Egypt.
Are Lebanese, Syrian, Palestinian and Jordanian Arabic different?
They are all Levantine and largely mutually intelligible, with differences in accent and some vocabulary. In your lessons we focus on the variety you need, so you sound natural to the people you want to talk to.
Do I need to learn the Arabic alphabet first?
No. You can start speaking straight away with transliteration, and we introduce the Arabic script step by step when it suits your goals.
How are the lessons given?
All lessons are live and online, one-on-one with a native Levantine teacher, scheduled at times that suit you.
