Arabic for Reading and Speaking: with Audio CD

This helpful language package introduces Arabic to English-speaking students in a series of exercises that instruct in reading, pronunciation, and listening comprehension. The book's exercises present words, phrases, and sentences in English, followed by phonetic spellings, which are followed in turn by Arabic script. Language students learn to identify parts of speech, verb forms, and other grammatical details as they familiarize themselves with most-often-used words and phrases in conversational Arabic. Practice exercises with answers are interspersed throughout each lesson. An enclosed audio compact disc presents dialogues that are especially focused to teach correct pronunciation and listening comprehension.
