The best available

This is a great introduction for the Arabic language. The Egyptian language is THE most understood all over the Arab world, because of the media production (Egyptian films , series..etc) . The tapes are informative, and the phrases will get you talk the language people speak , and not a language dug down from old poet ! The fastest way to communicate !I recommend also Eurotalk Talk now Arabic SW

Learn to make your way around Egypt.

This book and 2 cassettes provides a good foundation in Egyptian Arabic. The instruction walks you through several tourist related instructions like how ask for time or order fig jam for breakfast. The cassettes put you in mock conversations and are a joy to use.Egyptian arabic is the standard dialect as most film and radio uses it, so if you wind up somewhere else in arabia, you will still be well understood. Some letters are pronouced differently in Egypt (eg: the J is a G) and some times other words are used entierly (eg: the word for coffee and bread). Just don't be suprised if a non-Egyptian corrects you.Overall this is the best short intro to Arabic I've found.

An Marvelous Beginning introduction to "EGYPTIAN ARABIC."

'ahlan wa sahlan! I searched for a long time seeking for the quickest and most precise book and cassette on Egyptian Arabic. After searching and reading reviews I bought Conversational Arabic In 7 Days. I needed to learn the basics for traveling there and this book was marvelous! I teaches you excellent pronunciation, Introductions and Greetings, Booking Hotel Accommodations, Eating out, Telling Time, Talking to Friends, and much more all evenly laid out over a weeks period. If you are looking for a quick and easy way to learn Egyptian Arabic I defiantly would recommend this Book. -Thank You

Excellent for beginners who want to learn "Egyptian."

My objective is to learn how to communicate with my Egyptian family. This means a clear and concise pronunciation and phoenetic vocabulary. This little handbook is full of dialogue and goodies with which to start you off with a little of confidence. I would like to have a more advanced version of the same thing. I'm not looking to learn in seven days as the title suggests, but it is perfectly possible to do so. Thankyou Samy! Shokran!
