What You'll Learn
This program includes all of Modern Standard Arabic Levels 1, 2, and 3. With this program you start from zero, first learning survival phrases and vocabulary, and eventually progressing to a high-intermediate level of speaking and understanding Modern Standard Arabic.
Every lesson contains an introductory conversation and isolated vocabulary and structures, as well as full practice for all vocabulary introduced. Emphasis is on pronunciation and comprehension. By the end of the program, you'll have gained experience participating in many informal and some formal discussions on practical, social, and semiprofessional topics. You'll skillfully form longer, more complex sentences, and most importantly, you'll find yourself being understood, even by native speakers unused to dealing with foreigners.
Reading Lessons are included at the end of Lesson 30 for each Level. These lessons, which total almost four hours, are designed to give you practice sounding out Modern Standard Arabic and then to help you progress to reading for meaning. They also provide extensive additional vocabulary. Before you know it, you'll be reading Modern Standard Arabic with the ease and flexibility of a native speaker. The Reading Booklets to be used with the audio Reading Lessons are included.
Learning the sound of each letter alone and in culturally distinct combinations allows your brain to process what you're hearing in the audio lessons from a new and different perspective. It's a powerful combination that makes Pimsleur different from every other method on the market.
