✓ Learn Lebanese in a Very Practical Way
This is a Lebanese Arabic phrasebook, in a sense that it is designed to both:

Give you all you need to know to get by speaking Lebanese when travelling to Lebanon
Offer you a very practical and easy way of learning the dialect

✓ Students Have Been Greatly Benefitting From, and Impacting, This Method
The method and phrases used in this book have been developing since 2011 through my teachings of the Lebanese dialect through video lessons on youtube, as well as private lessons on skype.
They have been tweaked and are constantly evolving through the feedback of the students, focusing on what they find to be useful and efficient.

✓ Perfect Your Pronounciation by Watching Videos Linked to the Lessons
The most important aspect of learning a new language is to hear it being spoken by natives. Especially since Lebanese is considered as "spoken Arabic".
That is why the advantage of this book is that EVERY word and sentence used, is linked to the video in which it was taught, so you can hear it, and try to master the pronunciation.

✓ Understand ThroughTranslations and Pronounce With Transliterations
Each English phrase is translated to Lebanese using the Arabic alphabet for those who are Arabic literate, and then in its turn transliterated to the Latin alphabet for those who aren’t.

✓ Make Sure You Don't Forget What You Learned with Exercises and Puzzles
In order to help you master the material, there are exercises and puzzle at the end of the book, such as crosswords and word search.

Amazing Phrase Book & More!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

If you want to learn Lebanese Arabic, I strongly recommend not only purchasing the Phrase Books by Hiba Najem but also following her YouTube videos and taking one-on-one Skype classes with her. Hiba Najem's phrase books are unique in that she places important phrases into context, such as phrases that you might use at the airport. I also find her transliteration more accurate than that found in many other publications, especially in terms of distinguishing between subtle differences required for conjugating verbs. An example is her distinction between 1st person singular and 3rd person feminine singular as in "ana akalet" (I ate) vs. "hiyeh akalit" (she ate). Anyone familiar with the Arabic script knows the importance of such a distinction, especially when in writing the two words appear the same. She also provides the Arabic script, which I believe helps the learner relate more closely to the spoken word. Hiba Najem is a gifted instructor, which is apparent in her Phrase Books. Through them, she completes her effective package for learning Lebanese and/or improving your Arabic in general. (by Ann Ainlay Chebbo)

Thumbs up!

Although the book does not cover grammar rules it is a good look into common Lebanese phrases and pronunciation! Additionally, it is helpful to see these phrases written out in Arabic as you can deduce for yourself the grammar in these sentences :)

Since my dad died, over 30 years ago, there has been no one that I could speak Lebanese Arabic with frequently... I miss my dad and this book brought back so many memories of the things we did together as well as bringing me back on track with my heritage...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 3, 2014

This is an interesting and instructive work that opens the door to the Lebanese Arabic dialect. It takes up useful phrases that are used in the daily life. The work is well-structured and is divided into chapters such as traveling, airport, directions, money, accommodation, shopping, greetings, family, friends, relationships and much more. The phrases are linked to educational videos that are accessible on Youtube. I can highly recommend the work!

Very useful.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 20, 2014

It's definitely not easy to learn any type of Arabic language, especially for those who are unfamiliar with the Arabic letters.
But somehow this book makes learning the language quite fun, particularly thanks to the access to the video lessons.

A direct link to pronunciation for each sentence might be of greater help. A quite practical book anyhow.

El libro sigue los vídeos de youtube, sin embargo, el formato es bastante feo. Parece como si hubieran imprimido un Excel (y mal). Hay algunas faltas de ortografía. Para lo que es, es caro.
