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.
