It’s been a while since I posted something. Over the last few months, I’ve been working on a listening resource in Jordanian Arabic specifically for high intermediate learners and above. Today, I’m excited to announce that the first episode is now up on theLevanTongue’s YouTube channel. The listening resource is called “El Bulbul” and this post will be a short introduction as to what it contains. Yalla, read on to find out more Read More MAKING SENSE OF VERB FORMS IN LEVANTINE ARABIC: FORM I VS FORM II By Lyn On August 5, 2020 In Musings So some time ago, I wrote a post titled The Arabic Verb Is Just A Three-Letter Word in order to show a brief overview of how verbs work in the Arabic language.

And the first word is…”still”! Read More THE ARABIC VERB IS JUST A THREE-LETTER WORD: عرف (LEVANTINE) By Lyn On March 31, 2020 In Levantine Arabic, Musings Inspired by the song “Love Is Just A Four-Letter Word” by Joan Baez (written by Bob Dylan), here’s a first of a series of posts about verbs in Levantine Arabic titled The Arabic Verb Is Just A Three-Letter Word In each post, I will demonstrate how just by knowing one verb in its three-letter root form (Form I) will enable you to use the verb in its other forms. I always thought that it makes more sense to be taught all the verbs from the same root at the same time rather than at different points in the language journey. The meanings of the verb in its other forms can easily be guessed once you grasp how the 10-verbs form system works. And I hope to demonstrate that through sentence examples and seeing for yourself the pattern that arises. This series of posts might be especially useful for those learning Spoken Arabic without any formal background in MSA/Fosha. So for the first post of an ongoing series, we’ll begin with a simple verb: عرف Read More 4 EXPRESSIONS IN LEVANTINE ARABIC THAT CONTAIN THE WORD “BREAD” By Lyn On January 22, 2020 In Levantine Arabic, Musings Bread is a staple food in the Middle East with a lot of significance attached to it. It is of no surprise that there are Arabic expressions containing the word. I’m guessing that the significance of bread in the Middle Eastern culture is perhaps similar to the significance of rice in my part of the world (South East Asia). There are tons of articles online about the importance of bread in the Middle East and what it signifies but I really like the introduction of this article (it’s an easy read). Recipes on how to bake Middle Eastern bread are included Read More HOW TO USE ما, مش AND مو AS NEGATION WORDS IN LEVANTINE ARABIC By Lyn On December 2, 2019 In Levantine Arabic, Musings Ahlan!
