Arabic Made Easy - Dialect Note Demo - System Requirements and Pricing
About Arabic Made Easy Arabic Made Easy is a low-priced CD-ROM that teaches written Classical or formal Arabic and the spoken Egyptian dialect. The course begins with patient, interactive instruction in the written language, starting with the alphabet. The student first learns the names of the letters, then the sounds they represent, and how to read and write Arabic words.
Because the Arabic writing system is often the most difficult part of the language for many students, games and quizzes are included to provide painless reinforcement and review of the material.
One game called Letter Recognition helps you identify letters within words. Arabic letters change shape depending on where they appear at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of a word. The featured letter is highlighted red. Click on the corresponding letter. You have three tries. After the third, the program shows you the correct answer. Another, the Spelling Game, builds vocabulary and tests your pronunciation. Click on the appropriate letter - starting from the right and going left -spelling the word. You have three tries for each letter. After the third, the program shows you the correct answer. The meaning of each word is provided and the Read button may be pressed at any time to hear the word. There are 67 words for you to spell, so your vocabulary will increase as your spelling skills sharpen.
The spoken language is taught by a simulated trip to Cairo. Realistic graphics provide the background to many locales within the city. Talk to the old man on the street. Click on the taxi and the driver will take you to the destination of your choice. Exciting adventures await you at each locale: haggle with the merchants at the market; dine with friends and order the native cuisine; check-in at a hotel and much more. The sights and sounds of the city come alive.
Dialogues use both Arabic script and romanized transliteration into the English alphabet.
Arabic Made Easy delivers more instruction, more effectively, than many other, higher-priced products. It is designed with both young and adult learners in mind.
Because the Arabic language has been spoken from Morocco to Saudi Arabia for centuries before mass communications, there are a wide variety of dialects of the spoken language. The dialect spoken in Egypt is generally considered the best choice for the beginning student or traveler because it is heard throughout the Arabic-speaking world in movies and on television. In other words, even though a student of the Egyptian dialect will probably have difficulty understanding the Arabic spoken by people in Iraq or Libya, he is still likely to make himself understood wherever he goes in the Arabic-speaking world.
