"Modern Iraqi Arabic with MP3 Files" is an introductory textbook -
suitable for classroom or self-study - for those with no previous
knowledge of Arabic or those who know Arabic but want to learn the
Iraqi dialect. A detailed discussion of the consonants, vowels, and
other characteristics of Iraqi phonetics - including pronunciation
exercises on the CD - serves the needs of travelers,
businesspeople, diplomats, archaeologists, and scholars who want to
learn to speak the language quickly and efficiently. Using the
dialect of middle-class Baghdad, twenty lessons are arranged in a
story-like format and are based on everyday travel situations. From
arriving at the airport to getting to the hotel, students will
learn proper greetings and introductions; how to ask for
directions, take a taxi, and tell time; and, prepare for daily
activities like visiting the bank, museum, post office, and
restaurants. The book contains basic dialogue, grammar, vocabulary,
drills, and an extensive glossary. A section of idiomatic phrases,
accompanied by their cultural, religious, or proverbial
explanations, offers insight into current Iraqi culture. In this
edition, Arabic script has been added so that the reader has a
choice of following the Arabic writing or the transcription in the
Roman alphabet. Four entirely new lessons cover medical care, media
(radio, television, and journalism), telephone conversations, and
cultural and folkloric tales. All audio materials from the first
edition - plus new audio materials for the new lessons - are
included as MP3 files on a CD bound into the book.
