Which Dialect?

Beiruti Lebanese is the variety of Levantine Arabic featured in Haki Kill Yoom. That said, you will find it easy to communicate with speakers throughout the Levant region (Syria, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon) using what you learn in this book. While there are subtle differences in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar, you can easily note these and adjust your speech to align with local variations if desired.
