Join Dalal and Amani for The Arabic We Speak, a podcast that moves beyond textbook grammar to immerse you in the living language of the Levant. Each episode is built around a natural, recorded conversation or story about their daily lives, cultural observations, and personal experiences, all in authentic Levantine Arabic. To transform listening into learning, every discussion is supported by detailed worksheets-you’ll find transcribed texts, key vocabulary, and practical exercises designed to build comprehension and conversational confidence. This approach offers a structured yet organic path to understanding the nuances, idioms, and rhythms of the dialect as it’s genuinely used. New episodes arrive every Tuesday, providing consistent, engaging material for anyone eager to connect with the language on a deeper level. Tune in to hear the Arabic they speak, and start speaking it yourself.
