As nations make their way into this new century, there must be dialogue and understanding--and language is the doorway into that new understanding. <P>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. <P>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. 307455 1995 Al-kitaab fii Ta'allum Al-'Arabiyya with DVD's A Textbok For Begining Arabic total:43|5:15|4:11|3:10|2:5|1:2| 43 161 89 9 3 0 false false Tue Jul 08 03:31:57 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 08 03:40:38 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 0 false false Sun Dec 09 18:54:38 -0800 2007 Sat Nov 03 04:25:07 -0700 2007 Sat Nov 03 04:28:57 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Wed Nov 14 06:54:34 -0800 2007 Wed Nov 14 06:57:44 -0800 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Tue Mar 27 09:17:56 -0700 2007 Tue Mar 27 09:19:12 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Tue Aug 05 14:21:39 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 07 10:30:12 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 05 14:21:39 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Fri Jan 25 03:10:21 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 25 03:10:53 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri May 09 09:59:17 -0700 2008 Fri May 09 10:00:07 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Sep 04 13:03:29 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 04 13:03:46 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Tue Jun 09 04:24:21 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 07:16:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 21 03:22:25 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 03:22:25 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 14 23:48:18 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 23:48:23 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Oct 29 14:27:14 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 14:27:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 28 11:06:39 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 11:06:49 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Oct 19 19:57:17 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 19:57:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 15 14:57:21 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 14:57:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 15 14:45:25 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 14:45:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Thu Oct 15 01:36:53 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 01:37:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 12 13:47:18 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 13:47:18 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Sun Oct 04 10:03:14 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 10:03:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 02 05:37:06 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 05:37:06 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=316632
