Overview

""I studied Arabic for years, but I can't handle sensitive conversations in the field."" If you're an international aid worker, volunteer, or professional in protection and mental health with organizations like UNICEF, UNHCR, or Save the Children, you've likely faced this challenge. Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha) works for reports, but in refugee camps or crisis zones, you need the White Levantine Dialect-understood across Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine. Sensitive Conversations: Levantine Colloquial Arabic for Humanitarian Aid bridges this gap with field-ready scripts, phrases, and cultural insights for building trust, active listening, child protection, gender-based violence (GBV), mental health support, and crisis de-escalation. Organized into practical chapters with phonetic transcriptions, example dialogues, and exercises, this guide skips theory for actionable tools that enhance your impact. What's Inside? Over 500 essential terms for protection, MHPSS, and emergencies. Ready-to-use scripts for real scenarios, like trauma interviews or safety assessments. Dialect variations for regional adaptability. Ethical tips on body language and cultural sensitivity to avoid stigma. As part of the bestselling ""The Levantine Field Manual Series, "" this book empowers you to communicate with dignity and efficiency. Stop struggling-start connecting and making a difference today.
