If you spend enough time in Lebanon, Lebanese Arabic starts sneaking into your vocabulary whether you planned it or not.
You’ll hear it at the dekkeneh, in a service, over coffee, while asking for directions, and definitely in conversations that were supposed to last five minutes but somehow turned into an hour.
Soon, you’re not translating everything in your head anymore. The words just come out naturally… and that’s when you know you’re starting to speak like people actually speak here.
Because Lebanese isn’t only something you study. It’s something you pick up from the streets, the people, the conversations, and everyday life.
Shway shway… you’ll get there.
