FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Levantine Arabic

Lebanese and Syrian Arabic are very close and mutually intelligible at about 95%. The main differences lie in accent (Lebanese is often more melodic), a handful of vocabulary items, and a stronger French influence in Lebanese Arabic. Jordanian is slightly closer to Gulf Arabic. At Targumi, our Levantine teachers teach the standard variant that is understood across the region.
The Lebanese diaspora is the largest of the Arab world in terms of global spread, an estimated 10 to 15 million people of Lebanese origin live outside Lebanon, compared to 6 million inside Lebanon itself. Across Europe and the Americas, the Lebanese-Syrian community is active and influential in many major cities. Speaking a few phrases of Levantine with someone from this community creates an instant connection.
Yes, especially in Lebanese. Dozens of French words are woven into everyday Levantine: 'garçon' for a waiter, 'bonjour', 'merci' (mersi), 'boulette', 'restaurant', 'café'. This familiarity makes Levantine Arabic more accessible to European learners than Gulf Arabic or Moroccan Darija.
Lebanese and Syrian TV series (hugely popular throughout the Arab world) are excellent learning tools. After 6 months of regular practice, you will start recognising recurring structures and understanding simple dialogues. Series that use an Arabic closer to standard (like some Jordanian productions) are more accessible for upper beginners.
Yes. Levantine Arabic is very well understood throughout the Arab world thanks to the popularity of Syro-Lebanese series and cinema. In the Gulf countries, it is perceived as cultured. In Egypt and the Maghreb, it will be recognised and appreciated. It is an excellent springboard for understanding other dialects.

“Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.”

CamilleVerified purchase

“What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.”

DamienVerified purchase
S

“Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.”

SorayaVerified purchase
A

“Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.”

AntoineVerified purchase
E

“The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.”
