Tunisian Arabic, like Egyptian, Moroccan and Syrian, for instance, is a colloquial spoken form of Modern Standard Arabic. However, unlike MSA, it is a real and natural language that is spoken in real life, by real people in real life situations. Standard Arabic is not in reality a spoken language: it is not spoken naturally by native speakers of Arabic anywhere in the world. It is mainly rather a formal written form used to read the news, in formal seminaries, or read in books and newspapers. Hence, you will never find an Arabic speaker say to a friend: 'kaifa Haaluka? (MSA: how are you?), but rather: shnuwa aHwaalik? in Tunisia, kiif Haalak? in gulf countries, izzayak? in Egypt, etc... This textbook is intended to help visitors to Tunisia explore and enjoy Tunisian culture in an authentic way, by familiarizing with one facet of its identity: its spoken vernacular  It is also helpful to people who wish to communicate in Tunisian Arabic with Tunisians worldwide, but also with speakers of related Arabic dialects in general, like Egyptian, Libyan, Syrian and Gulf dialects. Finally, this is a funny and instructive book for readers who enjoy discovering exotic foreign languages...and who are always keen to learn new exotic foreign languages  A supplementary resource to the textbook is a collection of video lessons that can used be used in parallel to the textbook or as independent resources. After an urging demand from users of the paperback textbook, this series of videos will help learners grasp the linguistic materiel included in the textbook and enhance the learners' communicative skills. The video lessons aim to facilitate the learning process and provide audiovisual options that consolidate the textbook content: expand vocabulary and grammar, enforce listening and speaking skills. The video lessons are emailed to learners who purchased the textbook on request. To order video lessons, please email author on tunisianarabic24@gmail.com http: \/\/tunisianarabic24.blogspot.com\/ http: \/\/www.facebook.com\/tunisianarabic1 Here there will be constant updates, events and news, such as book signing ceremonies in Tunisia and a forum for reader's comments, feedback and discussions. Complementary learning material, mainly audiolingual, will be posted in these internet pages too  After reading this book and with some practice, with other readers of TA in 30 Lessons, (that would ideally take place in Tunisia ) you will be able, to really speak and genuinely communicate in Tunisian Arabic","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49563487731985,"sku":"GOR009611191","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1494706989.jpg?v=1750758325"},{"product_id":"tunisian-arabic-grammar-morphology-book-mohamed-bacha-9781718982079","title":"Tunisian Arabic Grammar \u0026 Morphology","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50737843339537,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50737846124817,"sku":"CIN1718982070VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1718982070.jpg?v=1732897612"},{"product_id":"30-funny-stories-of-joha-the-beloved-folk-hero-of-the-east-book-mohamed-bacha-9781790829149","title":"30 funny stories of Joha the beloved folk hero of the East","description":"30 funny stories of Joha the beloved folk hero of the East. bilingual English-Arabic to learn Standard Arabic and enhance vocabulary","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51629818478865,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51629818806545,"sku":"CIN1790829143VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1790829143.jpg?v=1750865242"},{"product_id":"survival-tunisian-arabic-book-mohamed-bacha-9781519727213","title":"Survival Tunisian Arabic","description":"Survival Tunisian Arabic is a handy phrasebook that contains basic vocabulary and expressions necessary for getting around in Tunisia or elsewhere where there is a need to communicate in Tunisian Arabic. It contains all the necessary words and phrases for speaking Tunisian Arabic (TA) in any kind of setting. Perfect for students, tourists or business people learning TA or travelling to Tunisia. It is organized by situations where one might need to speak TA such as at the hotel, in a taxi, to give instructions to servants and waiters, shopping, talking with friends, etc. Some words and expressions are listed with their parallels in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) in Romanized and Arabic script: the reason for this is that MSA, despite not being the mother spoken language of anyone, is the standard official language of Tunisia and the Arab world and is widely used - both in its written and oral forms - in a different set of situations which are usually formal such as: oral and written public announcments (in airports, public transportation, government offices), signs of shops and stores, newspapers, TV and radio news bradcast, conferences etc. Moreover, in the case of difficulties the book can be shown to the person the user is trying to communicate with, and people are more familiar with reading in MSA   An opportunity for the reader to compare between TA, as a colloquial form of Arabic spoken in Tunisia, and MSA, the official language of Tunisia and the lingua franca of the Arab world   MSA examplary phrases are highlighted in order to differentiate them from TA examples. Tunisian Arabic words and phrases are written in an easy Romanized form. For an in-depth study of Tunisian Arabic, please refer to our previously published textbooks: Tunisian Arabic in 24 Lessons; Tunisian Arabic in 30 Lessons; and the supplement: Tunisian Arabic - English Dictionary.
