Egyptian Arabic Voices: Authentic Listening and Reading Practice in Egyptian Colloquial Arabic

Egyptian Arabic Voices is designed to provide students of Arabic with an opportunity to hear and study authentic Arabic as it is spoken by native speakers today. Unlike the scripted materials read by voice actors used in many course books, Egyptian Arabic Voices offers dozens of audio essays spoken naturally and off-the-cuff by individuals from the greater Cairo region.

Each of the six native speakers has contributed audio essays which have then been transcribed for study.

Bonus: Access to audio tracks on publisher's website (original and slow versions)

Each "segment" (audio essay chapter) contains:

1) exercises to sharpen your listening skills and increase how much you can understand, whatever your level

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

3) a voweled transcript of the audio with side-by-side English translations

4) cultural and linguistic notes

5) web links to articles and videos related to the segments
