Conversational Arabic Quick and Easy: Lebanese Dialect - PART 1: Learn the Lebanese Dialect. A Levantine Arabic Colloquial. Lebanese Arabic. Levantine ... (Lebanese Arabic Series, Lebanese Dialect) Kindle Edition

I really want to like this book/audible more... The idea is very good, but the execution is lacking. There are vocabulary lists with about 20 common words per list, and about 6-8 sentences using those words. Over the course of the book you learn about 300 very common words. The problem is that there are not nearly enough sentences for practice. If there were about 3 times more sentences, and some paragraphs or dialogs in the later chapters, this would be a great resource. But as it is, there just isn't enough practice with the words.Also, the author is not very careful and occasionally uses words that haven't been learned yet.However, the really good thing if you're learning Arabic dialects is that the book/audible is available in a wide range of dialects, which is very unusual. Also, the price is very low, and if you buy the audible, you get a free copy of the kindle book, so it's still worth the price. If there was more practice with the words, this would be a fantastic resource.

My girlfriend is Lebanese, so I had a direct source to try these out of every day; if it wasn't for her, I would never have known how wrong this book is.The author of this book is a self-titled linguist, because made it all up. For the first ~20 pages, the author is trying to convince a prospective reader to purchase the book by telling him/her that "it is the best", but offering *zero* qualifying statements to justify that. The lists of words seem incredibly arbitrary and the transliteration (turning arabic sounds into english letters) is wrong. It was invented by this author and does not prescribe to common, well studied transliteration styles. He does provide a detailed explanation of the sounds that a reader needs to make, but they are confusing and misleading. Moreover, speaking this to a Lebanese person is confusing and they usually have to help you re-think all of the pronunciation, because it is simply spelled wrong and conveys the wrong underlying tones.I gave it 2 stars because it is indeed a list of 350 words that the author tries to help you speak in Lebanese.

Ever since I started using this book my Lebanese Arabic has improved tremendously. It’s accurate Lebanese dialect. Very easy to use

Nice little book if you just want to learn the very basics. I would not recommend this if you were trying to learn Arabic for travel as it doesn't contain everything that you need. I have decided to take an actual Arabic language course instead of relying on books. My Lebanese husband says the book is a nice start and that what is written in the book is pretty accurate as far as pronunciation goes. Price is nice. Yes, I would recommend it.

I purchased this book because I treat patients in their homes. Some of my patients speak no English. in this small, well organized book, Mr. Nitzany provides a simple and innovative method of learning the basics of spoken Arabic quickly and efficiently. he apparently has done extensive research in compiling the most commonly used words and phrases and he utilizes a strategy of continuous building upon what you have already learned!!!!! Recommend this book for anyone needing to acquire some basic conversational skills quicklly

This book helped me out a lot so far with this dialect of the Arabic language and the author done a marvelous job putting this book together. I also have the Egyptian dialect of his too.

The way to use this book is very simple and clear. If you use the words and sentences (and build your own sentences with them) you could actually sound sort of Lebanese. Definitely something to consider for your self-taught course of colloquial Arabic.

Was recommended this book by my Lebanese friend who claimed this book was the best source to learn this dialect. This is my favorite book thus far from this author.

Good starter...

Ich habe es durchgearbeitet und verstehe viel mehr als zuvor. Diese Worte werden im Libanesischen wirklich häufig verwendet.

As a Lebanese person who bought that book as a gift to my Canadian friend, I did not understand some of the dialect and a lot of the words that are used are written arabic words, not spoken arabic, which makes it sound ridiculous. Do not recommend it at all.

This book helps get you exactly as where it says it will: you begin speaking right away! It makes Lebanese quick to learn, the pags are simplified for ease of use, and the book is short, but effective.
