2.0 out of 5 stars Learning Lebanese Arabic, January 28, 2007

By	Vincent Kassab "paba01" (Buffalo, New York, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This dictionary is useful but limited in utility if you want to learn Lebanese. It does not cover many words used in the Lebanese dialect of Arabic. It makes specific references to Syrian and Egyptian words but not Lebanese.
