Correct these Arabic Sentences
Hello (again)
Could anyone correct my translations of the sentences/phrases below (Levantine Arabic):
I applied to volunteer --> قدمت طلب للتتوع
My favourite film --> افضل فلم عندي
The rain ruined my hair --> خرب المطر شعري
There are many drug addicts in this neighbourhood --> ?
I miss my boyfriend who is still in Canada --> اشتاق لساحبي يلي ما زال يكون في كندا (this one was tough and I'm sure it's wrong)
I have to go shopping tomorrow --> لازم اتسوق بكرة
I was going to meet a friend --> كنت اروح اطلاق سديقي
I had a dog for a short time --> كنت عندي كلب لمدة سغيرة
We were going to get lunch --> كنا رح نتغدة (no idea about this one)
Thanks so much

Best Arabic movies and tv shows
Hi all,
I'm sure this question has been asked a million times but, can anyone recommend movies and tv shows available online in Arabic? Or at least with Arabic subtitles available.
I have watched everything I can find on Netflix (Canada/Netherlands).
I'm trying to learn Levantine dialect but I will watch any kind of Arabic stuff.
I've watched some Roya Comedy shows (some of them are so fast and use so much slang that I can't always keep up) and I really like dramas.
I loved this show: http://www.shankaboot.com/ and I highly recommend it.
Thanks for your help!

نحاية الاسبوع
يوم السبت الماضي رحت الى عرس زمياتي. كنت هي لابسة روب ابيض هلو. رحت مع زملائي و شربنا و أكلنا و رقصنا كل الليل. باحب حفلات الزفاف و تشرفت دعوتني. كنت الحفلة في بيت اباها في الريف و وصلنا بباس. رجعت لبيتي على ساعة ثالثة صباحا.
.استيقظت في ساعة عشرة يوم التالي. اكلت كسرة السفرة و بعدين رحت اغسل غسيلي بعدين قضيت بعد الظهر مع ابي

Help with Arabic (Levantine) vocabulary?
Hi everyone, I'm going to ask all my questions here in one post
1. What is the Arabic (dialect) word for "make" in the sense of "interviews make me nervous" or "she made me sad" ? Like the french "rendre" "ca m'a rendu triste" for example.
2. What is the word for "roommate"? Is there one?
3. How would you say translate "she is tall for a girl"
4. Is this correct: بقفتي في كنب (behind me there is a couch) ?
