Der Text ist sehr deutlich gesprochen und vor allem die langsame Wiederholung ist sehr hilfreich.
Die Sprache ist klar und besonders die langsame Wiederholung sehr hilfreich. Der Inhalt ist sehr umfangreich.
The best material available on the market to study Egyptian Arabic. The audios are VERY helpful. The texts are so realistic that I understand my Egyptian friends better every day.
The editor was helpful for me to realize the download. The content is much more comprehensive than the free options. If everything were available in German instead of English, it would be perfect.
The book is amazing with tons of useful vocabulary organized by themes and categories. What’s nice is that you get the English translation, Arabic transcribed word and also the word written in Arabic script for those that are interested in seeing how things are written. I usually study by sections and highlight the words I find most useful from each category and when I have learned them well, I go back and choose more words. It will take you years to learn all the words here so it’s important to pick some words from each section and use them actively. The book is an amazing tool to get you to b1/b2 level. You can also search in the document to quickly find translations and use it as a dictionary.
Excellent ! Hopefully we will see one on the History of Lebanon, Palestine and maybe , just maybe one on Ukraine would be nice ! على كيفكو يا جماعة الخير !
يا خسارة! (What a shame)! I was hoping that not only there was a new update on the Vocabulary Series (especially for those learning, reading,studying and speaking Levantine Palestinian Arabic) on a new album cover but also I thought there would be a lot of new and unfamiliar words /material to be on the look out and for one to memorize what's being used throughout the book.
Thanks for your feedback. Just to clarify, these updated editions were not presented as expanded editions with new vocabulary. The core content remains the same, with new covers and pronunciation guides added. The update announcement explains exactly what was and wasn't changed:

Excellent for training your ear to hear and understand Fusha.
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 .
