Here’s a short and sweet post on how to say the English equivalent of “This wouldn’t have happened if…” in Levantine Arabic.
And what better way to do so but through sample sentences!
An audio recording of the sentences is also provided by a native Syrian speaker.

Learn Levantine Arabic Everywhere & Anywhere
Today’s Topic: Be stubborn, be persistent, be yourself
Marhaba y’all
Learn Levantine Arabic E&A is simply a series where I post random clips I find online and provide the Arabic transcript, English translation as well as insights into some phrases if necessary.
The idea is that one can learn the language from any type of sources, thus the phrase ‘everywhere and anywhere’. Also, it is a good opportunity to learn vocabulary from a specific topic each time
So for this second post of Learn Levantine Arabic E&A, I’ve chosen two clips about two women from Lebanon who shared their experiences surrounding the difficulties they faced for simply being a woman in their country.
I came across the videos after watching a few episodes from an animated show called بميت راجل that is available on Youtube. The show was part of an initiative to shed light on the various issues faced by women in society.
Also, if you haven’t had the chance to check out the first post of the Learn Levantine Arabic E&A series, you can do so here.
Ok, yalla, let’s go!
