In this series we listen to interviews between Majd and students that have mastered to speak Levantine Arabic on an advanced level! The goal of this series is for other Arabic learners to get inspired by these stories and build the confidence that the goal of becoming comfortable and fluent in Arabic is achieveable. We will also learn from all the different approaches and methods these students have used and learn from their successes and mistakes. Finally it is a way to listen to a natural Arabic conversation: complete with incorrect sentences, mistakes, jokes and reactions. This makes the vocabulary more challenging, the pace of the podcast more flexible and it reflects a better reality of how we speak. We hope you enjoy!
