Iraqi/Syrian Arabic - Good study material?
I've been working with refugees in Turkey for the last year and a half, and now I'm wanting to learn Syrian/Iraqi Arabic to be able to work more effectively with them. Many of them don't speak Fuhsa, so I need to learn the dialect.

What are some good programs for studying the Syrian/Iraqi Arabic dialect? Books, programs, courses? Online/digital/free tools are preferable, but obviously I'll work with whatever I can get my hands on

Answer

You can find vocabulary on Quizlet.com, search for "Levantine" and "Iraqi"

With a quick google there seems to be books available online for free, search "colloquial" and "levantine" or "iraqi".  I can also give you a cheat sheet of very basic verbs and phrases for both that I've made, PM me.
