Reader Reviews:
A strong basic introduction to colloquial Arabic (2/2 people found this helpful)
This small book serves as a good basic introduction to the colloquial Arabic of the region. Although it relies solely on the use of transliteration to present Arabic words, which may be off-putting for the more advanced student, it provides a systematic methodology for learning colloquial Arabic in a series of 20 lessons. This text is best used with the tapes and with occasional recourse to a native speaker. My Palestinian instructor strongly refuted some of the book's pronouncements on what is "common parlance" in the region, so take care !
An essential accompanyment to the book (1/1 people found this helpful)
This tape accompanies the paperback by McLoughlin which introduces Colloquial Levantine Arabic. The tape is particularly useful for students learning Arabic on their own although it is recommended even if the book is being used with a teacher. The pronounciation on the tape is clear and assists in deciphering the form of transliteration used by the authors. I found it particularly play the tape, then record my voice repeating extracts from it in order to compare the two and develop an ear for the accent.
