Do you ever feel like you're pushing the proverbial molten letal up the proverbial incline with these questions on teaching in Beirut??? 
Are we on the wrong forum or are there just no chatty ESL teachers there?  |

Walt and I discussed this by PM and I think he might have left us for the moment. He never heard from anyone else either up till the end of March, anyway...

Walt,
I see that you posted your question concerning living & working in Beirut back in March 2005. Now, I travelled in the Lebanon in 2003, but didn't work there. However, I'm asking similar questions to yours and I've come across a good reference book for people who are relocating to Beirut from the Diaspora - and for anyone else for that matter.
At Home in Beirut: A practical guide to living in the Lebanese capital by Charlotte Hamaoui and Sylvia Palamoudian is available from a Lebanese online book reseller called أدب و فن. I haven't found the book for sale elsewhere on the Web so I hope my advertising like this on the forum can be excused.
If you have no Arabic then I can recommend the following resources for learning without a teacher:-
� SyrianArabic.com - a superb & free Levantine colloquial Arabic coursebook online in pdf with downloadable MP3 audio files for each chapter.
� Spoken Lebanese by Maksoud N. Feghali - a fluency oriented short course in colloquial, not fusha, Arabic of Lebanon
I hope this is of help to you. With best regards,
Tim Holmes.
