This eBook offers authentic listening and reading practice in real Syrian Arabic.
Built around spontaneous audio essays recorded by native speakers of Syrian Arabic, this eBook exposes you to natural speech rather than scripted recordings. Contributors speak freely instead of reading prepared texts, allowing you to hear real features of spoken language such as fillers, rephrasing, and variable speed.

Like any other product from lingualism, I absolutely love it. Amazing stories from six people who fled the war, talking in native speech about their experiences. Learning new vocabulary in context of understanding every person's story makes it much more powerful. lingualism's products are a treasure trove for learning the Arabic language and Arabic dialects.
This is an excellent resource for so many reasons. It is wonderful for training your ear to listen to natural (and sometimes rapid) speech. It is also a great resource for learning the differences between Syrian Arabic and, say, Lebanese Arabic. You will learn to adjust your ear to the way things are pronounced in Syria. Lastly, the stories are really poignant and give us a better idea about the lives and experiences of people affected by the Syrian war.

Really great resource covering a range of different topics.
I love everything about this book! Very interesting and engaging topics, I have noticed a huge improvement in my vocabulary. I am forever grateful to Lingualism Team and Matthew for making learning Arabic dialects much easier :-) If you are around B1-B2 level honesty you need this book in your life!
