Learn Levantine Arabic E&A #02: Be stubborn, be persistent, be yourself

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!

Beirut I Love You – Episode 5 Lyom Ra7 Etrok Cheghleh [Lebanese]

Beirut, I Love You - Season 1 - Episode 5 | Lyom Ra7 Etrok Cheghleh (Today, I'm Quitting My Job)
Watch this video on YouTube.

 

This episode is one of my favourites from the Beirut, I Love You series. The Lebanese dialect is probably the one that I’m least exposed to and the hardest to grasp. Anyway, English subtitles are already included in the video – so here’s the Arabic transcript!
