Syrian Arabic Language Course

Description

About The Authors

Syrian Colloquial Arabic was a collaborative effort between Australians Mary-Jane Liddicoat and Richard Lenanne and Syrian Dr Iman Abdul Rahim. All three donated many hours of their own time over 18 months to develop the course.

Mary-Jane Liddicoat is currently Counsellor (Education, Science and Training) at the Australian Embassy in Seoul, South Korea. Prior to this she worked for the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Canberra, Australia, and as First Secretary (Political) at the Australian Embassy in Seoul. She majored in Japanese literature and graduated from Sydney University in 1989. She also spent one year at the Nagoya University Linguistics Centre, which inspired the SCA teaching methodology. Mary-Jane worked as a translator and interpreter in Tokyo until joining DFAT in 1994. She first studied Arabic at the British Council in Cairo in 1995 and wrote Syrian Colloquial Arabic during an 18 month stay in Damascus in 1997-98. Mary-Jane also runs this site and a new family in her spare time (check out her anti-ad site, her arts site or photo albums here).

Richard Lennane also worked for the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade from 1992-2001. He graduated from the Australian National University in 1992, studying computer science, chemistry, Arabic and Japanese. Richard was posted as Third Secretary to the Australian Embassy in Damascus 1997-98, where he helped refine and edit the Syrian Colloquial Arabic material. Richard now works for the United Nations and resides in Geneva, Switzerland.
