Summary
Details

This is Lebanon... Famous Lebanese (هيدا لبنان مشاهير لبنان) is the first book in the 'This is Lebanon...' series from Lingualism, aimed at advanced learners (C1-C2 level) of Levantine Colloquial Arabic.

In this book, you will explore the lives of twelve of Lebanon's most famous and influential figures-from iconic singer Fairuz and statesman Rafic Hariri, to contemporary figures like filmmaker Nadine Labaki and human rights lawyer Amal Clooney. Covering leaders, writers, scientists, and entertainers, the texts introduce you to vocabulary and expressions essential for understanding Lebanese society, history, and identity.

What You'll Find Inside

Twelve full-length articles written in clear, expository Lebanese Arabic English introductions to build background knowledge before you read Pre-reading questions to spark curiosity Key vocabulary activities with terms highlighted in the text Ten comprehension questions per unit to check understanding Open-ended discussion and essay prompts to encourage deeper engagement Access to professional audio recordings of each text, read at natural speed by a native speaker from Beirut

Unlike Lingualism's lower-level readers, the texts in this book are not vocalized with tashkeel, encouraging you to read Arabic as native speakers do-relying on your knowledge and the context of the text.

Who Is This Book For?

This book is ideal for advanced learners of Levantine Arabic who have already studied Lingualism's B2-level materials and/or are ready for the challenge of C1-C2 level texts. The combination of articles, vocabulary, exercises, and audio makes it a comprehensive resource for improving reading, listening, and cultural understanding at an advanced level.

This is Lebanon... Famous Lebanese will help you expand your vocabulary, strengthen your comprehension, and gain deeper insight into the people who shaped Lebanon-while taking your Lebanese Colloquial Arabic skills to the next level.
