| Body | From http://linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-3596.html Title: Formal Spoken Arabic Basic Course w/MP3 files, 2nd Edition Series Title: Georgetown Classics in Arabic Language and Linguistics Series Published: 2005 Publisher: Georgetown University Press http://www.press.georgetown.edu Book URL: http://press.georgetown.edu/detail.html?id=1589011066 Author: Karin C. Ryding, Georgetown University Author: David Mehall, University of Maryland Paperback: ISBN: 1589010604 Pages: 400 Price: U.S. $ 39.95 Comment: w/MP3 Files Abstract: This new edition, updated and with additional exercises, equips those who work, travel, and study in Arab countries with an educated form of spoken Arabic that functions flexibly in the face of various regional colloquial variants in the Arab world. Because the Arabic language has a number of very different spoken vernaculars, being able to speak and be understood in all Arab countries has become a challenge for English speakers. Ryding and Mehall have designed a course that teaches a standardized variant of spoken Arabic that is close to, but more natural than, the literary Modern Standard Arabic. Not intended for self-instruction for beginners, Formal Spoken Arabic Basic Course with MP3 Files assumes some previous knowledge of Modern Standard Arabic, Arabic script and phonology, and previous or simultaneous instruction in orthography. This new edition includes a CD of MP3 audio exercises that are keyed to the text and drill students on listening and speaking.
