Language in Lebanon

"In Lebanon, where everyday conversations have long been sprinkled with French and English, many fear the new generation is losing its connection to the country's official language: Arabic. The issue has raised enough concern for some civil groups to take action." This is so overstated. This article and generalizations of this sort apply mostly to upper class Lebanese who get in touch with Western journalists. You think that kids in `Akkar, Ba`albak, and south Lebanon have no connection to Arabic? This is about social class and not about language. (thanks Olivia)
