Palestinian Arabic Voices is designed to provide intermediate and advanced students of Arabic with an opportunity to hear and study authentic Levantine Arabic as it is spoken by native speakers today. Improve your comprehension of Levantine Arabic by using its audio component alongside the guided exercises in the book. Unlike the scripted materials read by voice actors used in many coursebooks, Palestinian Arabic Voices offers dozens of audio essays spoken naturally and off the cuff by individuals from around Palestine.
Each segment consists of:
- accompanying audio tracks available for free download below.
- vocabulary and comprehension exercises to sharpen your listening skills and increase how much you can understand
- in-chapter answers to the exercises (no having to flip back and forth to the back of the book)
- verbatim transcripts of the audio with side-by-side English translations.
Six native speakers from around Palestine and abroad have each contributed six audio essays on various topics, which in total make up the 36 segments found in this book. The contributors were recorded speaking naturally and spontaneously without reading prepared texts. The audio essays were then transcribed into Arabic script and translated into English. Studying these texts is a unique opportunity to better understand the patterns, usage, and idiosyncrasies of Arabic as spoken by Palestinians today.

I just bought both the Palestinian and the Lebanese Voices after previously having worked my way through the Egyptian and the Syrian Voices. I can honestly say that the quality of the two new Voices-editions met all the expectations created by the previous ones! What an absolute gem this is for studying Arabic! One day I hope to wake up and find a Voices-edition for every single Arabic-speaking country sitting on my bookshelf… I can’t wait for Tunisian, Moroccan, Saudi, Bahraini, Jordanian, Iraqi, Yemeni etc, etc Voices-editions! Absolutely thrilled to be part of this amazing journey! Palestinian Voices is an absolute MUST for anyone interested in Arabic

Wow, I’ve just downloaded this, and also ordered the printed copy. What a thoughtful, well-organized and systematic learning tool! The exercises really make you listen and learn, including the common connecting phrases that I haven’t seen in any more formal workbooks. So much material, I think this will really take my learning to the next stage – thank you!
