Premium Audio: Egyptian Colloquial Arabic Vocabulary

Learn on the go!

Memorizing vocabulary takes time and repetition. When you study from a book, your eyes must stay on the page, which limits how much time you can dedicate to language learning. The Egyptian Colloquial Arabic Vocabulary Premium Audio solves this problem by letting you make the most of your time throughout the day—even when you can’t sit down with the book. Just listen and learn as you go about your day!

What is Premium Audio?

Unlike the free MP3 tracks that come with the book Egyptian Colloquial Arabic Vocabulary—which include only the Arabic words and expressions—the Premium Audio is divided into individual MP3 tracks for each vocabulary item. This makes it possible to shuffle your playlist to randomize playback and test yourself more effectively.

Each track presents a vocabulary item in four clear steps:

1. Regular speed: The Arabic word or expression is spoken naturally.
2. English translation: Hear the meaning and check your understanding.
3. Slower speed: The Arabic is slowed by 20% to help you hear the sounds precisely.
4. Pause to repeat: You get time to say the word aloud yourself and strengthen your recall.

How to Use the Egyptian Colloquial Arabic Vocabulary Premium Audio

The Premium Audio is best used as a supplementary tool alongside the Egyptian Colloquial Arabic Vocabulary book. Ideally, you’ll also have the PDF eBook or paperback so you can study the Arabic script, phonemic transcription, and detailed notes while listening. The Premium Audio lets you keep learning when you’re away from your desk.

All MP3 files share the same metadata tags: album [Egyptian Colloquial Arabic Vocabulary (Premium)], artist [Lingualism], and genre [Study Arabic].

The vocabulary is organized into 57 thematic categories, and the Premium Audio follows the same structure. Each folder and track name includes the category number, title, and item number.

Recommended Study Methods

• 1. Study one category at a time: This helps you understand each word within its context. For example, in the “Restaurant” category, the word “tip” clearly refers to ‘gratuity,’ not ‘the tip of a pen.’
• 2. Shuffle within a category: Once you’re familiar with a set, randomize playback to test your recall.
• 3. Combine categories: Mix studied categories to review and strengthen your memory across different themes.

How the files are displayed and sorted will depend on your device’s audio player.
