Al-kitaab fii Ta'allum Al-'Arabiyya with DVD's A Textbok For Begining Arabic

The beauty and richness of the history and cultures of the Middle East are matters of increasing interest to the English-speaking world. As nations make their way into this new century, there must be dialogue and understanding--and language is the doorway into that new understanding.

This revised and updated second edition of Al-Kitaab contains new video and audio material on three DVDs, along with revised and updated texts and exercises. Following naturally on the introductory text, Alif Baa, for the Al-Kitaab Arabic language program, this initial Part One text further develops skills in standard Arabic while providing additional material in colloquial as well as classical Arabic.

The audio vocabulary portion of the DVDs allow learners to hear a new word followed by a sentence using it in context along with previously acquired vocabulary and grammatical structures, enabling students to build new vocabulary skills while reviewing previously exercised material. The video portion offers the option of seeing and hearing the video of each lesson in both Modern Standard Arabic and Egyptian Colloquial Arabic. The DVDs also contain substantial material exposing the learner to Egyptian Arabic (the most widely used and understood Arabic dialect), a short dialogue in Egyptian Colloquial Arabic appears at the end of each lesson. New video materials also feature subtitled interviews with Egyptians about various aspects of Arab culture, such as gender issues, fasting in the Muslim and Christian traditions, social clubs and their significance, and more. more

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Sep-08-2009; It's the best there is.; Al Kitaab is a wonderful book. The dual-dialect aspect of it is unique and very useful.

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Aug-22-2009; It is satisfactory; I think this book is over all satisfactory. The DVDs are generally good.

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jun-11-2009; Best textbook series for arabic study; This is by far the most widely used text for the study of arabic. It follows the life of "Maha" and her family and exposes you to the most essential parts of modern standard arabic. This course was developed as part of US government...; read full review | report as inappropriate

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Mar-19-2009; Could be better organized; This is a difficult textbook to use because it is so disjointed. I think they did it that way for a reason... so that you would force yourself to dig for the answers and use clues to put the language together in your mind.

1/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Feb-06-2009; The worst garbage ever published; This isn't just a lousy book- this is what is wrong with Arabic education in this country. If I could give it less than one star I would, not for the whiny Maha or the turgid Khalid, but for the carelessness and sloppiness with which...; read full review | report as inappropriate
