Season 3 Introduction ( Arabic & English )

Season 3 Introduction ( Arabic & English )

Author: Deewan Institute {Mohammad Ayaseh} March 6, 2022 Duration: 5:45

Hello and welcome to season 3 of the Deewan Arabic Podcast!  

We are excited to continue the success of both season 1 and 2 as thousands of you from around the world have listened in. From Amazon and Deewan, an accompanying book is available for season 1 containing all of the transcribed episodes, a glossary of terms from each episode and written exercises.

 The  book for season 2 will be released in the near future.  

I am Angela,  living in the beautiful city of Amman and a student at Deewan. I am excited to host season 3 of this podcast series. 

If you are also in Amman please do pop by Deewan School and listen on the Podcast listening station, and browse the  book.  

Thank you to everyone featuring on this series and also to the teachers, students and all involved in the last two series. Last season episodes ranged from more light hearted topics of sport, being a vegetarian in Jordan and what it is like to own a dog in Amman to more detailed discussions of the Refugee crisis and Jordanian Heritage. 

This season includes podcasts in Fusha as well as the colloquial dialect from this region. 

For more aural amusement Deewan have also curated several Spotify playlists that showcase different music from across the Levant region and are certainly worth checking out.  

From everyone at Deewan, thank you so much for listening and we do hope that you enjoy season 3.

The transcription of this episode will be provided in the Guide to Deewan Arabic Podcast season 3, along with its translation; this book is available on Amazon and at Deewan institute in Amman - Jordan.

.مرحبا!! و أهلاً فيكم بالمَوسِم التّالِت مِن بودكاست ديوان

مْكَملين بَعد نَجاح المَوسِمَين الأوَّل والتّاني و وُصولنا لآلاف المُسْتَمِعين مِن حَول العالَم! كتاب الدليل الى بودكاست ديوان بالعَرَبي للموسم الاوَّل صار مِتوَفِّر في معهد ديوان و امازون

بهاد الكتاب في نُصوص الحَلقات و مَعاني الكَلِمات و تَمارين مُتَنَوِّعة

اما كتاب المَوسِم التَّاني فَـرَح يكون مِتوَفِّر عَن قَريب

 انا انجيلا، ساكنِة هَلأ في مَدينة عَمّان الحِلوة، و كَمان انا طالِبِة في ديوان. و إِزا كُنتوا في عَمّان زوروا مَعهَد ديوان عَشان تِسمَعوا لَلبودكاست و تِقرأوا مِن الكتاب.

شُكراً لَكُل اللي اِشتَرَكوا في عَمَل هاد البودكاست مِن طُلّاب و مُعَلمين و كَمان اللي اِشتَغَلوا على المَواسم السابقة.

 في المَوسِم الماضي تنَوَّعَت الحَلقات بَين مَواضيع خَفيفِة مِتل الرّياضَة و حَياة النَباتيين و تَربِيِة الكلاب في عَمّان، و مَواضيع أَعمَق مِتل أَزمِة اللاجِئين و التُّراث الأُردُني. في هاد المَوسِم رَح يِكون في حَلقات بالفُصحى و بِالعامية

بَنصحكُم كتير تِسمعوا البلايليستس في حساب ديوان على السبوتيفاي اللي فيه أَغاني مِن بِلاد عَربِيِّة مُختَلِفِة

مِن ديوان بنشكُركُم على الاستِماع و بنِتمَنّى تِستَمتِعوا بِهادَ المَوسِم

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.
