Consider the following two languages over the alphabet $\{a, b\}$ :
$$\begin{aligned} & L_1=\left\{\alpha \beta \alpha \mid \alpha \in\{a, b\}^{+} \text {AND } \beta \in\{a, b\}^{+}\right\} \\ & L_2=\left\{\alpha \beta \alpha \mid \alpha \in\{a\}^{+} \text {AND } \beta \in\{a, b\}^{+}\right\} \end{aligned}$$
