Hi Zeina,
I’m glad I checked the program again, I almost missed the talk on translation!
I’ve been a freelance translator for 14 years and look forward to discussing translation with you and other conference attendees tomorrow.

I did not forget your questions on Lebanese Arabic resources.

I recommend that you please check out the following resources:

  • Book: Arabic vs. Arabic: A dialect Sampler (Amazon)
  • Lingualism.com has incredible books that are specific to a few Arabic dialects, including Levantine.
  • Youtube Lebanese channels/programs:
    - Learn Lebanese Arabic with Hiba Najem
    - Shankaboot - a 40+ Lebanese fun film series in Lebanese Arabic

MSA Arabic:

  • A Reference Grammar of Modern Standard Arabic - Karin C… Ryding (Excellent resource to learn all the details of MSA grammar)

Free Language Learning App: LanguageLab (Excellent for Arabic and other languages)

I hope that helps :slight_smile:
Let me know if you need anything else!

Hello everyone,

Since the conference has been extended for another 2 weeks, as you might have already heard, I am planning other Arabic meetups on planet Earth, in the Arabic room.

I am thinking about this Tuesday and Thursday at 10am EST.

Please, let me know who will be able to make it then!

أصدقائي،

بما أن تم تمديد المؤتمر لمدة أسبوعين آخرين، فلنلتقي مجددا للتكلم باللغة العربية.

أقترح يومي الثلاثاء و الخميس نحو الساعة عاشرة صباحا بتوقيت نيو يورك.

المكان سوف يكون على كوكب الأرض في قسم اللغة العربية.

هل تناسبكم هذه التواريخ؟
