What Khaled Jasem says to watch to learn Levantine Arabic

I'm Syrian and teach both Fusha and Levantine, so I picked something for each. Classic Arabic historical drama is a goldmine for learners, and the golden age of Syrian TV gave us some of the best. Start with the one that matches the Arabic you're learning.
