About this course
You can get by in Lebanese. Now make it flow. You've got the basics. You can greet people, order coffee, say where you're from. But a real conversation still moves faster than you do — you catch most of it, then lose the thread while you're assembling your reply. This level is about closing that gap. You'll talk about your life rather than describing it in fragments: your routine, your family, the people around you. You'll make plans, handle a shop or a restaurant without rehearsing first, ask directions and follow the answer. You'll tell someone what you did last week and what you're hoping to do next — the past and future tenses that turn vocabulary into stories. By the end you'll hold an opinion in Lebanese, disagree with someone, and keep a conversation going when you don't know a word. Sixteen sessions, twice a week, live with Sally. The group is capped at ten, so you speak every class. The last session is a real conversation. No script, nothing prepared — just you, in Lebanese.

How group courses work
This is a live cohort course. It runs once at least 5 students have signed up (up to 10 seats). You reserve your place first; you only pay once the group is confirmed and a start date is set. Because a cohort is scheduled around confirmed students, fees are non-refundable from the point the group forms.
