Start speaking Arabic with confidence'right away!

It used to be that if you wanted to learn to converse in Arabic like a native you had to spend time living in Egypt. Not any more. The next best thing to a year in Cairo, Just Listen 'n' Learn Arabic picks up where formal language studies leave off by giving you a feel for how Arabic is really spoken by the ?man (or woman) on the street.?

Whether you're planning a trip abroad or just want to take your Arabic to an exciting new level, Just Listen 'n' Learn Arabic helps you quickly build the basic skills and confidence you need to start speaking Arabic right away?and develop a convincing accent, too!

Ideal for complete beginners as well as those who have had some formal training, Just Listen 'n' Learn Arabic is based on recordings of Arabic speakers made on location--in the street, hotels, restaurants, grocery stores, taxi stands, camera stores, and dozens of other everyday settings.

This revised and updated edition features:

• An illustrated course book, packed with photographs, illustrations, and cultural information to give a real taste of being abroad
• Three 60-minute CDs recorded on location featuring more than eighty authentic conversations
• Audio exercises that help develop conversation skills and confidence
• Fascinating cultural information to help familiarize you with daily life in the Arabic-speaking world
