I bought Egyptian Arabic Diaries, Egyptian Arabic Verbs, Egyptian Arabic Vocabulary, Arabic Stories 1 & 2. Downloaded the audio files through the Lingualism site. Excellent quality, rich material, original pronunciation (hint: play the audio at low speed in your VLC, at normal speed you can't get anything on first pass).
The side by side original script transliteration (pronunciation guide), literal english translation and arabic script is exactly what I am looking for!!! It is missing in all other books.
All in all, these books are EXCELLENT, are the BEST out there to enrich your vocabulary in egyptian arabic.
Two hints for beginners....
1. These books are not for beginners. They don't have grammar, so you cannot follow up on the syntax at all. Go first for a beginners book with grammar like Ultimate Arabic or something else
2. These books (except Arabic Stories 1 and 2) DON'T TEACH modern standard arabic but only the egyptian dialect which is way different from MSA.
In conclusion VERY SATISFIED and looking forward to more books from these editions. Keep up the good work!!!!
