Key Features
Haki Kill Yoom 2 is a situational eBook for navigating everyday services and institutions in Beiruti Lebanese Arabic.
Designed for intermediate learners who want to function independently in a wide range of daily situations in Lebanon, this eBook follows the same non-linear, needs-based approach as the first volume. Each chapter can be used on its own based on immediate communicative needs. Dialogues reflect authentic spoken Lebanese Arabic and clearly distinguish between what you are expected to say and what you are likely to hear. Cultural notes provide context for local services, etiquette, and social expectations.

Detailed Overview
From Using Lebanese Arabic to Handling Real Situations with Confidence
If Haki Kill Yoom 1 helped you start using Lebanese Arabic in everyday situations, Haki Kill Yoom 2 helps you handle what comes next.
The level does not increase. What changes are the situations. Here, you deal with more complex, sometimes uncomfortable interactions, things like resolving problems, standing your ground, handling misunderstandings, or interacting with authority figures such as the police. The language remains practical, spoken, and situational, focused on what you actually need to say and understand in the moment.
You are not memorizing scripts. You are learning how real conversations unfold when things do not go perfectly, and how to respond naturally and appropriately when they don’t.
If your goal is not just to speak Lebanese Arabic, but to navigate real life in it, this is the natural continuation.

Customer Reviews
The actors are great
I don´t have any objection, is like to be in the streets of Beirut. It's hard to grasp sometimes, but it's good for training the ear to the accent. Good job!
