Advanced Lebanese Arabic

You speak Lebanese. This is where it starts sounding like you.

You can hold a conversation. You get through a restaurant, a shop, a taxi without thinking twice. What's left is everything between getting by and speaking freely.

This level is about that gap. Telling a story properly — with the pacing and the asides that make someone actually listen. Disagreeing with a reason, not just a word. Explaining what went wrong and what you'd do instead. Saying what you think and defending it when someone pushes back.

You'll work on describing people and how you feel about them, talking about your life as it is now rather than as a set of facts, and handling the moments where a conversation turns — a problem, a disagreement, something that needs explaining.

It ends with your own story. A final project, in Lebanese, told the way you'd tell it.
