AI Wrote This Book!
All texts were generated by an AI (artificial intelligence), carefully designed to be indistinguishable from human-written content. Human native speakers then translated the texts into Lebanese Arabic and recorded authentic audio, ensuring accuracy and naturalness.
Why AI-generated texts? They are fun, sometimes surprising, and offer extensive exposure to simple language and grammar. This helps learners build reading confidence, recognize patterns, and absorb the language efficiently.
Dive in, read along, and enjoy how AI can create engaging, easy-to-understand texts that support your Lebanese Arabic learning journey!

It's great that this is available, as such resources are rare, especially for Lebanese. I like how the vocabulary gets repeated, and how different genders and tenses are introduced for otherwise familiar words. The coloured diacritics are a very nice touch too. There are some slightly strange sequences, but as this is really about absorbing structures and vocabulary rather than reading great literature this is not a major problem. Likewise, in trying to match the translation very closely to the English original there are some slightly awkward phrases (according to my teacher), but this is a minor problem. I would have liked to see a side-by-side translation rather than the English following the Arabic, I think that would make it much easier to compare the texts, and it would be very easy to do. But all in all, especially for the price, this is a wonderful little book and I'm glad I have it to work with.
Very well constructed short stories in Lebanese Arabic. The diacritics and audio tracks are also very helpful for comprehension. The stories are short enough to not overwhelm the reader, but are still long enough to provide a lot of new vocabulary and material to study.
I appreciate the A1 / A2 level resources and short stories being made here for Levantine Arabic. This is a great start for someone who isn't quite ready yet for more advanced vocabulary. I tried reading An Ambious Young Man (B2), but it was too advanced for my level. I recommend this as an entry into reading comprehension for the Levantine dialect.
Hopefully there will be a Jordanian variey of this series someday!
