Learn Levantine Arabic: Marhabtayn
Hello everyone (or two hellos!) and welcome to the Arabic podcast 'Learn Levantine Arabic: Marhabtayn'. My name is Saira and I've been learning Levantine Arabic since 2019. I'm so grateful to have a platform to share my love for the language. In the following episodes, I have conversations in Arabic and openly make mistakes. I hope this encourages you to speak Arabic confidently and without fear. Remember, slow progress is still progress! If you have any questions, please send me a message. I would love to hear from you!
