Levantine Arabic language lessons and practice: Syrian, Palestinian, Lebanese, Jordanian, Hatay

Levantine Arabic language lessons and practice: Syrian, Palestinian, Lebanese, Jordanian, Hatay

My name is Fadi, a Palestinian raised in Dubai who has also lived in Palestine and Jordan. I specialize in teaching the Levantine Arabic variety. So, what is "Levantine"? It refers to the historic region of the Levant, which includes Palestine, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and the Hatay province of Turkey. Levantine Arabic is the spoken language of region—a "language variety" in linguistic terms. It is the language of daily life, workplaces, and professional settings across the Levant. It is only replaced by Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) in formal contexts like news broadcasts, political speeches, and religious sermons. Whether you're ordering hummus in Damascus, in a meeting in Beirut, or want to express solidarity, or seeking to connect with Arabic communities in Europe, you will use Levantine Arabic. A key advantage is its widespread understandability. Most Arabic speakers from other regions, like Yemen, Egypt, and Tunisia, understand Levantine Arabic, though the reverse is not always true. This makes it a powerful tool for communication across the entire Arab world. As the Levantine Arabic Wikipedia page states, it is "one of the two prestige varieties of spoken Arabic comprehensible all over the Arab world." In my teaching, I prioritize natural pronunciation and phonology. Arabic, including the Levantine variety, uses vowel changes to convey grammar, such as indicating gender. I find that dedicating significant time to sounds profoundly accelerates skill development. The good news is that Levantine grammar is far simpler and less demanding than MSA or Classical Arabic. You can learn to use it confidently in a short time, unlike MSA, which requires a large time investment for limited daily use. (Note: Classical Arabic remains essential for Quranic or Islamic studies). My students in Germany and Europe include binational children, adult learners, and heritage speakers seeking to connect with family and community. Many have successfully bonded with local Palestinian and Syrian communities. My method includes post-lesson voice recordings for reference and a free, custom-designed booklet covering grammar, phonology, and expressions. I adapt to visual or auditory learning preferences to craft the most efficient path to fluency. I primarily use a Latin transliteration system, but I also offer tutoring in reading and writing the Arabic script in the beautiful Naskh font, upon request.

Jazz, pop and soul singing lessons / piano lessons for beginners.

Jazz, pop and soul singing lessons / piano lessons for beginners.

I have different kind of lessons: 1. Face-to-face lessons of modern singing Modern singing: technique, improvisation and repertoire The face-to-face classes take place at a studio in Prenzlauer Berg and are mainly aimed at adults and teenagers who want to learn music. They have a duration of 50 minutes. In singing classes, breathing and vocal technique are worked through warm-up exercises, always with the aim of working the voice in a healthy and correct way. My classes are mainly focused on the repertoire of the student’s preferred style, which can be pop, soul, jazz, blues, bossa nova, tango and bolero, among others. Each style is worked differently and with the appropriate resources to lead to a good interpretation. Both for warm-up and repertoire I usually accompany the student on the piano. Depending on the style sometimes I may work with karaokes. I also teach a good use of the microphone, to fight stage panic and to enjoy a performance on stage. The singing lessons are aimed at people of any level, from beginners to advanced, even to someone who is preparing an exam for an upper grade of modern music. My main objective is above all that the student feels motivated, and not under pressure. For me it is very important that the student enjoys music and the music lessons. 2. Initiation to piano: modern harmony and auditory education The piano lessons are aimed primarily at beginners. My intention is mainly to prepare my piano students so that they can later develop a more advanced style with a teacher whose main instrument is the piano. For this, I start with basic exercises for a good hand technique and with simple songs so that the student learns to read music. For those who already have a basic level, I start directly with scales and chords, mostly focusing on teaching songs in modern harmony. The main objective is the motivation of the student, avoiding pressure. For me it is very important that the student enjoys music and the music lessons. 3. Modern singing on-line lessons Modern singing on-line classes: technique, improvisation and repertoire Like face-to-face classes, online lessons last 50 minutes. They are also aimed at adults and teenagers who want to learn music and find virtual classes more comfortable, for whatever reason. The lessons are given through a virtual meeting app, either Jitsi or Zoom. They are similar to those in the classroom, with the difference that a little more time is devoted to the repertoire than to the technique. I consider of great importance that the student enjoys the lessons also in this case and does not lose motivation.
