Beginner - Levantine: Hot weather

If you've travelled to an Arab country before, then you will probably know what it feels like to be greeted by the heat as soon as you set foot off the plane, the hot weather has a weird sense of humour! Sierra & Elias are the hosts in today's lesson on the topic of the heat and the cold.

    Are there any Levantine lessons with the past tense? I'd love to see how that is done in this dialect.
    Thanks for another excellent lesson.

    Thanks for this lesson. I lived in Beyrouth and am very fond of levantine arabic.
    The word "daffayeh" (heater) sounde like "tadfi2ah" used in another lesson: is it a levantine form of that word ?

    Ahlan gwenmartineau, the word (tadfi2ah) is used in classical Arabic as well as colloquial (including Levantine), and it means (heating). So if you say tadfi2ah in Beirut people will be fine with it.
