FSI Levantine Arabic

Learn Levantine Arabic the proven way—just like a diplomat!

Learn Levantine Arabic in as little as 25 minutes a day with Audio-Forum courses! You'll be amazed at how easy it is to achieve fluency in Levantine Arabic using this proven audio/text method.

The Arabic language encompasses numerous dialects. Levantine Arabic, the dialect of Beirut, can be understood by speakers of the urban dialect of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Israel. This course covers the major points of phonological interference — crossover of sounds from another language resulting in a “foreign” accent — between Levantine Arabic and English, as well as significant phonological contrasts within the dialect itself. Please Note: This program is intended for those who have already learned to speak a dialect of Arabic.

While other premium language courses offer only the means to learn to speak, with Audio-Forum you'll not only speak fluently, you'll also master reading, writing, and grammar skills at a scholarly level—all with the confidence and polish of a native Arabic speaker. After all, diplomats have proven for years that this method works!

These are full-length courses developed with U.S. State Department's Foreign Service Institute authors and instructors specifically for diplomats. You could pay $100+ per course for similar FSI Courses from the National Technical Information Service (a division of the U.S. Department of Commerce) but with Audio-Forum you get the same quality instruction at a much better price. For over 40 years, Audio-Forum has been the original and most trusted source for Foreign Service Institute language courses.
