Simply superb! From a linguistic perspective, this is by far the best resource available anywhere to learn Arabic dialects. It offers us language enthusiasts a rare window into how Arabs actually speak in a natural situation, as opposed to the boring, cliché and unrealistic scripted Classical Arabic dialogues found in most established courses of Arabic. This concept is so amazing that in my opinion, it deserves to be expanded to other Arabic dialects, including the less well-known ones such as Iraqi, Yemeni, Sudanese and Saudi. All the dialects of Arabic, and more importantly the people speaking them, deserve to be heard by the world, and I believe this is exactly this format is ideal for this objective. Dear mr. Aldrich, you have really created something of value!
Absolutely fantastic! From a didactical perspective, the concept of the verbatim transcriptions of Arabs speaking off the cuff, while simultaneously sharing really interesting, personal and touching stories is simply ingenious. I can only hope that one day, this amazing and unique concept will be applied to more than just the Egyptian and Levantine dialects. I believe that all the speakers of Arabic dialects (including the less well-known ones such as Tunisian, Sudanese, Yemeni and Iraqi) deserve to make their voices heard to us eager language enthusiasts! I can't wait to find out what Lingualism's future projects will bring us.
I loved this book. Lots of great vocab and was such a pleasure to read and learn about famous Egyptians. I really liked the chapters about Magdi, the doctor and Rafa Tatawi. So inspiring .
By far the best set of cards I found to learn basic and more advanced Lebanese vocabulary. Thanks a lot!
