Inhaltsangabe

Whether you are a complete newcomer to the Arabic language or have previously studied Modern Standard Arabic or a colloquial dialect, the Beginning Learner’s Levantine Arabic Dictionary will help you gain a solid foundation in Arabic as it is spoken today. Beyond just being a reference in which to look up words to understand what you hear or express yourself, this dictionary is designed to be a self-study tool which you can explore to build your core vocabulary and understanding of the language through the headwords, translations, grammar and usage notes, example sentences, and free downloadable audio tracks.

★ Bonus: Available on our website, we have free accompanying 🎧 audio tracks to download or stream (to help you develop listening skills and accurate pronunciation) and (available separately) Anki digital flashcards with audio.

Levantine Arabic is an umbrella term that refers to the spoken varieties in the northeastern corner of the Arab world, including Palestine, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. As there are small differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, and even grammar from region to region, it is not possible or practical to document and include all of the variations. Instead, for the sake of simplicity and consistency, we have chosen the Beiruti dialect as a basis for this dictionary. This does not imply that Beiruti (Lebanese) Arabic is in any way superior to other regional varieties. That said, you should find it easy to communicate with people throughout the Levant using what you learn in this book. There will be subtle differences, but these you can note, as needed, to hone your style to match a regional variety, if that is your goal.
