English language in Lebanon

English is a secondary language of Lebanon, with 40% of the population saying in 2011 that it can speak it non-natively.

Most Lebanese people speak Lebanese Arabic, also known as Lebanese. English, however, is also used in Lebanon for a variety of functions, including oral and written communications, sometimes among speakers of Lebanese. It is also used as a medium of instruction, especially in natural sciences and mathematics.

Many Lebanese words, such as CD, crispy, hot dog and film, have been borrowed from English, and some speakers code-switch between English, Lebanese, and French in a single conversation, such as in the common greeting "hi, كيفك (kīfak)? Ça va?"
