About this course
Lebanese doesn't live in a textbook. It lives in a kitchen, a taxi, an argument about football. This isn't a level. There's no chapter to finish and no grammar to memorize. You come, and you talk. You'll get faster at understanding Lebanese at the speed people actually speak it — not the slowed-down version teachers use, the real thing, with words swallowed and sentences half-finished. You'll stop translating in your head. You'll pick up the expressions that don't appear in any course: what people say when they're annoyed, amused, being polite, being sarcastic. Sally steers the conversation and catches what needs fixing along the way. Nothing is corrected mid-sentence and nothing is graded. It's for anyone with some Lebanese already — whether you learned it properly or absorbed it growing up and never used it out loud. You don't need to be good. You need to be willing to be wrong in front of nine other people who are also being wrong. Twice a week, ninety minutes, live. Capped at ten, so there's nowhere to hide and no reason to. Come and talk.
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.
