Levantine is the most common Arabic dialect in Michigan so that is my target dialect after learning MSA. I had a couple minutes in the live class today where Tony and I discussed Levantine and he recommended coming up with an opening script. Here is my short practice script to get started. Arabic speakers like to "one up" the other person as a sign of courtesy, respect, and politeness. Ex. Marhaba-hello, marhabtain-hello twice. Tasharafna-nice to meet you, sharif ilee-the honor is mine. I have mudarris for teacher (chat gpt), but I have seen it as istez for levantine. (ustes-MSA). Any corrections
