Season 2 Introduction (English & Arabic)

Season 2 Introduction (English & Arabic)

Author: Deewan Institute {Mohammad Ayaseh} June 11, 2021 Duration: 5:26

After season one was more successful than we could have ever imagined, we decided to continue with a new season and introduce new and more exciting topics with more interactive exercises. We have had listeners from all over the world, from Costa Rica all the way to Australia, and not to mention how many copies of our book “The Comprehensive Guide to Levantine Arabic” have been sold on Amazon and at Deewan worldwide. My name is Sara AlZyoud, I’m the Media Coordinator at the Deewan Institute for Languages and Cultural Studies, and I will be your host this season, taking over from last season’s host, Mohammad Ayaseh, the co-founder of Deewan.

If you’re in Amman, Jordan, you are more than welcome to pop by our institute to use our Podcast Listening Station and study up on all those new words you get to hear on our episodes. This season we’re gonna try to cover diverse social, cultural, and educational topics from the unique perspectives of our students who hail from different ethnic, religious, and social backgrounds. We would also like to thank our teachers who have been the backbone of this project, and our students who took in-person and online classes with Deewan and consistently offered their knowledge and points of view for our listeners’ perusal. We commend their bravery and willingness to offer these topics in Arabic, which is not their native language.

Other than this podcast, we also offer curated Spotify Playlists with a collection of Arabic songs and music from the Levant that can be enjoyed by Arabic learners of all levels.

Another important note we’d like to draw your attention to is that soon you’ll be able to buy the Deewan Arabic Podcast book on Amazon and at our institute and enjoy all the perks of the podcast in your pocket for a very small fee.

And now off to the episodes, happy podcast listening!

The Deewan Arabic Podcast from the Deewan Institute turns your headphones into a vibrant street café in Amman. It’s a resource for anyone engaged with Levantine colloquial Arabic, moving beyond textbook phrases to the living language as it’s spoken daily. Each episode is built around conversations-sometimes with fellow students navigating the same learning journey, and other times with locals from Amman and across the Levant. These discussions naturally explore culture, business, arts, and personal stories, all chosen with the curiosities of a language learner in mind. You’ll hear the rhythms, humor, and nuances of the dialect in authentic contexts, which is crucial for building listening comprehension and the confidence to speak. Hosted by Mohammad Ayaseh and the team, this podcast understands that expanding your vocabulary and cultural knowledge happens best through genuine interaction. Whether you're just starting out or refining your fluency, listening to this podcast provides consistent, accessible exposure to the sounds and subjects that make Levantine Arabic so rich. It’s about connecting the language to real life, one conversation at a time.
