Summary:
For those beginning their study, this volume is a comprehensive
introduction to the Arabic language as spoken by educated Muslim
Baghdad residents. It does not assume prior knowledge of Arabic.
Transcribed and not in Arabic script, it is further enhanced by the
inclusion of IraqiEnglish and EnglishIraqi glossaries. The text, A
BASIC COURSE IN IRAQI ARABIC, contains ten chapters of phonology, the
study and identification of the meaningful sounds of Iraqi Arabic,
and thirty more chapters deal with grammar and vocabulary. The
phonology chapters all contain extensive drills, and the grammar
chapters start with a dialogue or brief narrative, then explain the
new vocabulary, points of grammar, and also conclude with drills.
Accompanying the text and drills is a bound-in CD containing audio
MP3 files that aid in pronunciation and practice. As the
English-speaking world has become increasingly aware of the lands and
cultures where Arabic is spoken, books augmented with audio material
such as A BASIC COURSE IN IRAQI ARABIC WITH MP3 AUDIO FILES have
become more important and necessary--there can be no peace or concord
without understanding.
