Description

Includes 30 lessons and reading instruction (16 hours) as MP3 download, plus PDF user's guide and reading booklet

Eastern Arabic is the dialect spoken in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine. Eastern Arabic is also very well understood in the eastern and southeastern parts of the Arab world -- Arabia, the Gulf Region, and Iraq. Pimsleur's Eastern Arabic is based on the dialect of Damascus, Syria.

The Pimsleur® Method is scientifically proven to be your fastest route to nearnative fluency. Eastern Arabic Phase 3 includes another 15 hours of spoken language practice and one additional hour of reading instruction, and is designed to be used after completion of Phases 1 and 2.

Reading Lessons are included at the end of Unit 30. These lessons, which total about one hour, give you practice reading Arabic and provide you with insight into Arab culture with proverbs, common expressions, and a broad look at things you’ll see when visiting an Arabicspeaking country. A Reading Booklet to be used with the audio lessons is also included in PDF format.

Comments about Arabic (East) Phase 3, Units 1-30:

The 3 phases of Eastern Arabic were fun and rewarding to use, and left me able to communicate simple ideas in Arabic. I only have 3 complaints:

1) It teaches you Syrian / Lebanese 'slang' -- my Sudanese in-laws were thoroughly amused by it (they speak their own Arabic 'slang'), but sometimes what I tried to say couldn't get across to them at all. Similarly, I wasn't able to understand them as often as I could have hoped. This isn't a problem if your interest is in speaking with Syrians / Lebanese, of course.

2) There seemed to be discontinuity between the 3 different phases; slightly different vocabulary being used when you switched from Phase 2 to 3, for example. It isn't that big a deal; you can pick up the new style and start learning again pretty easily.

3) I want more! More lessons, more vocabulary, practice in more conversational contexts, etc. It's too fun and easy to stop at 3 phases :)

Otherwise, I am very happy with the product.
