Colloquial Arabic is used in daily communication between people in the Arab world. Rooted in classical Arabic, it is simplified for daily use and infiltrated by non-Arabic worlds depending on the geographical location, external cultural and linguistic influences. This class will focus on the Levant dialect, which is spoken in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine. It is for adult students who have been exposed to Arabic, either formally or informally. The instructor will use music, movies, recorded conversations and other cultural means to move from Modern Standard Arabic to the Levant dialect.
Students should have a strong command of Arabic vocabulary.
