Publisher Description:

In Syrian Arabic Voices, you will meet Amani, Umran, Nada, Fares, Bayan, and Rami, all Syrians in diaspora, who share their personal stories of war and emigration, along with more lighthearted topics such as self-introductions, hobbies, and fond memories.

Syrian 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.

Unlike the scripted materials read by voice actors used in many coursebooks, Syrian Arabic Voices offers dozens of audio essays spoken naturally and off-the-cuff by individuals from around Syria.

Each of the six native speakers has contributed audio essays that have then been transcribed (as voweled Arabic text) and translated for study.

Each segment (audio essay chapter) contains:

① accompanying free audio tracks available for download on our website;

② vocabulary and comprehension exercises to sharpen your listening skills and increase how much you can understand;

③ in-chapter answers to the exercises (no having to flip back and forth to the back of the book);

④ verbatim transcripts of the audio with side-by-side English translations;

⑤ lined sections for taking notes and recording new vocabulary.

Bonus: Available on our website, we have free accompanying
