"The Levant" includes Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine—countries with complex histories, cultures, and identities that date back centuries—countries that, while similar, are also wonderfully unique.
This complex, rich heritage is mirrored in the language. Like the countries themselves, the Arabic spoken in each one is distinct, but the accents are similar enough that we can still use the term "Levantine Arabic"—much like we simply call the dialects spoken in America and the UK "English".
At Lingua Verna, we teach this unified Levantine dialect, but we're careful to highlight local differences in accents and word choices, allowing each student to develop a style that reflects their heritage and interests. As students move from beginner to intermediate, we allow increasing opportunities to specialize by country.
We build our programs on four pillars that allow for rapid language acquisition while building the confidence to actually get out there and use what you've learned. This method is especially effective for a language like Levantine Arabic, where speaking is our primary goal.
Your goal is to speak Arabic, so we devote a full 50% of learning time to small-group conversations led by native speakers
Your instructor will keep you and your cohort of 4-6 students accountable to every step of the program, assuring you never fall behind
We set clear goals, then take you step-by-step through the tasks to achieve them. Creating this success loop is essential for rapid fluency.
Our professionally produced content ensures a fun & engaging environment that immerses you in the Arab world.
