Lebanese Arabic Voices by Matthew Aldrich

Lebanese Arabic Voices offers an innovative approach to mastering Levantine Colloquial Arabic. Designed specifically for intermediate to advanced learners, this book bridges the gap between classroom Arabic and the real spoken language encountered in Lebanon and its diaspora.

• Comprehensive Learning Tools: Each segment includes practical vocabulary and comprehension exercises to refine your listening skills, alongside in-chapter answers for immediate feedback.
• Dual-Language Transcripts: Study detailed Arabic transcripts of the audio essays with diacritics (tashkeel) and side-by-side English translations, enhancing both your reading comprehension and translation skills.

Benefits:

• Authentic Listening Practice: Encounter real-life speech, complete with natural mistakes and spontaneous phrases, offering a rare glimpse into the unfiltered language as it's spoken today.
