Excellent quality, rich material
I bought Egyptian Arabic Diaries, Egyptian Arabic Verbs, Egyptian Arabic Vocabulary, Arabic Stories 1 & 2. Downloaded the audio files through the Lingualism site. Excellent quality, rich material, original pronunciation (hint: play the audio at low speed in your VLC, at normal speed you can't get anything on first pass).The side by side original script transliteration (pronunciation guide), literal english translation and arabic script is exactly what I am looking for!!! It is missing in all other books.All in all, these books are EXCELLENT, are the BEST out there to enrich your vocabulary in egyptian arabic.Two hints for beginners....1. These books are not for beginners. They don't have grammar, so you cannot follow up on the syntax at all. Go first for a beginners book with grammar like Ultimate Arabic or something else2. These books (except Arabic Stories 1 and 2) DON'T TEACH modern standard arabic but only the egyptian dialect which is way different from MSA.In conclusion VERY SATISFIED and looking forward to more books from these editions. Keep up the good work!!!!

Good book. Yet does not explain the arabic letters!
The book semestre excellent yet the arabic writing is very little and they do not explain the writing. I guess is only for getting accustomed to the listening.

Excellent
This is a great book to get acquainted with the various dialects of Arabic. Listening and reading the dialogues will help you learn vocabulary that will help you get by in different countries of the Arab World. I highly recommend this book for serious learners who want to get exposed to spoken Arabic.

Awesome Book
I haven't finished this book yet but so far I absolutely love it. I'm an Arabic major and going into the advance classes this is super useful! I love that each section has a new dialect you are introduced to. I was familiar with Egyptian and Levantine, but the inclusion of the Tunisian was awesome as I've never heard it before. This book is great for getting an ear for what the dialects sound like. I do wish they included more of the gulf regions but still the book is wonderful. The vocabulary in the MSA units are useful and I think this book would be a great supplement to anyone taking Arabic in college.

Arabic Voices 1
Another very good Arabic book I have added to my library of Arabic books. I like it, because it contents a mixture of different coloquial dialects along with Modern Standard Arabic for those who want to know it exactly, the classical way. It should give you a feeling, how dialects change with the region in which it is spoken. The MP3-files are very helpfull for those who are not so familiar with the Arabic Script, in particular when it comes to pronounce the different dialects the correct way. People like me, who have lived in Egypt for long periods, do have the typical Egyptian dialect in their ears.

Fabulous for real world language learning...
Yet another outstanding language resource from Lingualism and Aldrich. This volume (one of a series) contains a variety of personal stories in different dialects of Arabic. It is great to have such high quality audio to get your ear accustomed to the different ways people speak. Some are simpler, some more complex, The focus is on listening and trying to understand, with progressive comprehension tasks as you re-run each audio track. Once you've done your listening practice, there is a full transcript in Arabic, with English translation. Great for picking up handy colloquialisms or turns of phrase, and grasping the natural constructs of spoken Arabic (as opposed to formal academic style). Highly recommended.
