Celebrating 1 Year of Marhabtayn!

Send us a text

Marhabtayn! I hope you're all safe and well. Almost exactly one year ago today, I published the very first episode of Learn Levantine Arabic: Marhabtayn. I always feel so grateful I have a platform to share my love for the Arabic language. I hope it has encouraged you and continues to encourage you to speak Arabic without the fear of making mistakes.

In this special anniversary episode, Lina and I have a very random conversation (see the questions below and you'll understand what I mean!) It's a lot longer than the others, but I really enjoyed recording it. I hope you find it useful :)

Please message me if you have any questions - always happy to help!
