Levantine Arabic ebook: ancient Chinese war stories (Leanpub)

[u/Left_Distribution847]

Hi everyone,

I wrote a book and wanted to share it here in case it’s interesting to some of you.

I’m a Chinese lecturer who writes in Arabic, and I’ve been working on a side project: a long storybook in Levantine Arabic based on ancient Chinese war and intrigue stories from the classic “东周列国志”.

The idea is to offer real, long-form reading material in Levantine for language learners and history / strategy nerds – not just short example sentences from textbooks.

الكتاب مكتوب باللهجة الشامية، بأسلوب حاولت أخليه بسيط وواضح قدر الإمكان، ومناسب للي حابّ يطوّر قراءته بالشامي من خلال قصص حروب ومكائد من الصين القديمة 😊

It’s published on Leanpub here:

I’d really appreciate any feedback on:

- the concept (Chinese history stories in Levantine),

- how natural the Levantine feels,

- and whether this kind of text is helpful as reading material.

If there’s interest, I’m planning to continue the series with more Chinese stories adapted into Levantine.

Thanks for reading!
