Lebanese Arabic AcceleratorReviews of thespokenarabic.com

I am very happy to have stumbled across Ali's Lebanese Arabic course. I was looking for a course that would teach the colloquial Arabic spoken in one of the Levantine countries. I found Ali via youtube and discovered this course. One thing I like a lot about the platform is that the modules are short and self paced. So if I have a couple weeks where i'm too busy to dedicate a large amount of time to learning, then I can still watch a module and review what I've already done in about 20 minutes, but if I have more time then I can study as much as possible. It is also obvious that Ali cares a lot that you're getting the most out of the platform and making progress towards learning the language. He adds content to it consistently and seems to remember all his students well. If you wish to learn Lebanese Arabic the way that people speak it on a daily basis, then I highly recommend this course. This is far better than alternatives I've found which either focus on Modern Standard Arabic or another colloquial dialect (mostly Egyptian).

I'm so happy I purchased this course even though It was a bit expensive for me. But it's worth it. I've been working with Arabs for the past couple years and I thought the previous Arabic that I was taught can help me but I was wrong. My friends would laugh at me when I would start speaking. The good thing about this Lebanese course is that it teaches you how to speak the way people speak nowadays and not the traditional way. The modules are short which is great for people with short attention span like me lol It has very interesting material and you can go and use it right away. Shopping, talking, food, interests, etc. You don't have to necessarily follow the order of the modules so if you get tired of learning verbs, you can switch to another section and have more fun and get back to that part later. He also updates the platform which is great. Personally it is easy for me to learn from him because I was familiar with this language but it's not impossible for anyone to learn it if they don't know a single word. It's a very smooth language course and Ali even teaches you some techniques for learning a new language. Another good point about this course is that you constantly receive emails from them about different topics and updates. While ago I decided to learn Arabic and I bought books and downloaded the Duolingo app to start my journey. Gosh, It was the biggest mistake. If you really want to learn the proper Arabic and be able to speak with people, purchase this course. You will not be disappointed. I cannot wait for more updates. Thanks to Ali and his amazing team for creating this course for us. To sum it up, If you are in doubt to purchase this course, listen to me and buy it. It's not like any other Arabic course, book or even channel on youtube! I hope my review helped :)

Content is quite big with increasing levels. Lessons are short at the beginning to let you assimilate what you just learn and with few reminders from lessons to lessons. Ali, the teacher, is very dynamic and funny which makes it very enjoyable. I haven't finish all the module but I can already see that he has a big knowledge about country and he already gave us very helpful other sources to progress like films and series to watch. Also, there is common talking time with all students where everybody can bring and learn at his own pace. It is corresponding to my needs as I wanted to learn an Arabic dialect,specially lebanese dialect, and not modern standard Arabic as my goal is to speak with people a real common language.
