Syrian Colloquial Arabic, a
Functional Course by Mary-Jane Liddicoat,
Richard Lennane and Dr Iman Abdul Rahim, 1998 ISBN 0-646-36958-X
Syrian Colloquial Arabic, a Functional Course is a 400-page
illustrated and fully indexed textbook,
accompanied by 180 minutes of authentic recorded conversations.
It deals with modern colloquial Arabic as it is spoken in
Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, with an emphasis on practical, everyday
language useful to the foreign resident.
Use it for:
- self-study,
- with a teacher
- or in a class.
The downloadable book leads you through
a variety of real-life situations, and the
language necessary to deal with them — directing a taxi, negotiating
for a hotel room, haggling with the greengrocer, speaking on the
telephone, and so on.
This practical material has also been carefully
fitted to a structured exposition of Arabic grammar. Read
more about our methodology.
The book also covers basic reading and writing.
While written Arabic is generally Modern Standard Arabic,
an ability to read road and shop signs, Arabic numbers, restaurant
menus and bills, and to write your name and telephone number is
a valuable skill for the Arabic speaker.
The book is fully transliterated and can be
used without learning to read Arabic, but we do recommend making
the extra effort as this will help you if you go on to study
Modern Standard Arabic.
With comprehensive vocabulary lists and full
index, Syrian Colloquial Arabic is designed to be a handy
reference even after you have finished the course!
