Intermediate - Holidays well spent

Hi,

what's the difference between the PDF Transcript and the Audio Transcript ?? I opened a couple and they are identical.

Thanks.

In the Audio Transcript you can listen to the transcript while reading it. It is a very useful method to improve your listening and pronunciation abilities.
There is a green speaker symbol at the end of each line, pressing on it will read out the line.

Hi Ehab, I was wondering, the vocab that you are giving us, how well understood by the general public in the arab world? You seem to speak Fusha without difficulty, but from my experience, it seems that the majority of Arabs, struggle to put a few sentences in Fusha together. I mean, they can go easier with their accent, but often use the same mastalihat as they normally use.

I have decided to brush up on my Fusha, and found your wonderfull site. sometimes I say something in the fusha manner to them and they stare at me blankly, until I change mas and mathers to Aysh, alati or aladhi to illi. than they understand

Regards

Ahlan Ifan,

The Arabic that we teach here is either Fus7a or common colloquial i.e colloquial that is understood all over Arab countries. Best thing to do is to read the article that Moshaya has written on the blog titled (Which Arabic dialect do we teach?), it is comprehensive article and should give you clear idea on what you asked about.
