So that's why now many people are learning directly
the dialect, whether Lebanese or other,
and not Modern Standard Arabic.
I mean depending on what you want,
depending on why you are learning.
فأنا تلاميذي أغلبهم عم يتعلموا عربي
So my students most of them are learning Arabic
because they married an Arab person,
so they want to speak only with this person
in his language, in the Lebanese dialect, or with his family,
I mean his family, or we say his uncle's house,
I mean I have let's say I have a student,
so her husband, her husband's name would be her uncle,
we say her uncle, father-in-law,
her uncle I mean not her brother,
her uncle I mean her husband's father.
So that's why we say his uncle's house,
I mean in-laws, okay? His uncle's house.
So this is the student and others
are learning Arabic because they want to speak
with his uncle's house in the Lebanese dialect,
لأنه بيت عمهم ما بيحكوا بالإنجليزي،
because his uncle's house doesn't speak in English,
so she needs to learn their language and so on.
That's why these students are learning directly
the Lebanese dialect not Modern Standard Arabic.
Good Work!
