    ‘A FEW WORDS FROM CHARLES BERLITZ WORLD FAMOUS LINGUIST Let me introduce you to the cassette course you have chosen to study. In it you will find the basic phrases needed for communication in this lan- (guage. There are two important things to remem- ber about leaming a new language: Be Interested in the people, their country and language. Want to learn the language. Practice it as often as you can. Nothing Is more effective in creating a friendly atmo- ‘sphere and nothing flatters people more than when a foreigner tries to speak their language. ‘The voice on these cassettes will say a phrase in English. Then you will hear the translation of the phrase repeated twice. During the pause after the second repetition, repeat the phrase ‘loud. Try to imitate the pronunciation as nearly 88 you can. Read the words as they are spoken on the cas- sette and use the guide to help you remember the words and pronounce them during the pauses. Remember, knowing the language is the best way of knowing the country and enjoying it more. Charles Berlitz Phrase Dictionary Ss and Study Guide Wabi ISBN 0-910542-01-5, LANGUAGE Educational Services Washington, 0.0. Read the introduction before turning on cassette SIDE 1. INTRODUCTION Arabic is one of the world's most ancient languages. Originally spoken In the Arabian Peninsula in the seventh century. with the conquest of Isiam, it spread throughout the Middle East and as far west as Spain. Today it is the native language of ‘more than 192 million people in an area extending from western North Africa to the eastern borders of the Middle East, deep into Africa and along its coasts. Arabic is an official language of more than twenty nations, comparable in this multinational respect only to English, French, and Spanish. Arabic owes its cohesiveness tothe Islamic religion through the Karan, the Holy Book of the Moslems. The Koran has exercised a unifying inlu- ‘ence over the Arabic language wherever itis spoken, and has sarved likewise as a link to the Arab civilization of the Middlo Ages. Most Moslems are quite familiar with Arabic, having studied it in order to read the Koran. Spoken Arabic difers trom country to country. A traveler who has learned spoken Arabic only In Saudi Arabia, or say. solely in Lebanon or Egypt, would have aticuty communicating with Arab speakers throughout the Middle East. Modern literary Arabic, howaver, is the language of the mass media, and is ‘understood everywhere in the Arab world. LANGUAGE/30 ARABIC teaches universe! Arabic combining fiterary usages and spoken phrases which avoid country- ‘specific idioms and word variations. This course furnishes you with basic phrases you need to communicate in standard ‘Arabie—what you wish to say, and what you can expect to hear in reply. The phrases will enable you to make yourself Understood so you can explain what you want and find your way about. Thay are short, easy to repeat and memorize, and are used by Arabic-speaking people many times every day. The number of words and phrases employed in daily con- versation fs surprisingly small, and the vocabulary of this Course includes and stresses these. Your repetition of these key Phrases will give you an instintive grasp of Arabic sentence structure and you can make your own sentences as you learn new words. When you start the first cassette, you will hear phrases in English immediately translated into Arabic, repeated twice, and followed by a pause. During the pause, say the Arable words aloud. Remember, you can always stop the cassette and repeat ‘any phrase you feel unsure about. Just listening is not enough. ‘You must repeat the words and phrases aloud as often as possi- ble. Say the words many times to impress them on your ‘memory. The Arabic is spoken at normal conversational speed ‘and you should practice repeating at the same speed. Testing has proven that a word spoken 10 to 20 times will impress itselt on your subconscious mind more readily than ‘a word read 50 to 100 times. When the two systems are com- bined, as in this course, you will be surprised at the ease with which you acquire a whole new vocabulary Arabic writing reads from right to left instead of feft to right as in English. The beautiful Arabic script has been used over, the centuries in art and architectural decoration for is delicate and ornamental calligraphy, There are many words in English of Arabic origin. Some ot these words date back to the days at the great Arab civliza- tion of the Midale Ages. We must also include the Arabs’ most Important contribution to the West—the system of numbers, ‘and especially the concept of zero, Arabic words in English include algebra from al jabr (the reuniting); cipher from sir (zero); admiral from amir al ban (lord of the sea); alcoho from al Kon! (antimony): hashish trom hhasheesh (dried grass): sheik from shaikn (chiet or prince); frarem trom naraam (forbidden); coffee—gahwa; sugar— sukkar; came!—jamal; gazelle—ghazaal; and Sahara which simply means desert ‘As you begin your study of the phrase sections, refer to the ‘middle column showing the Arabic words and phrases spelled Phonetially. The spelling uses systematic approximations ot ‘Arabic vowels and consonants based on sounds familiar to the ear of the speaxer of American English. These approximations ‘sould serve only as a guide to nelp you learn the sound sys- tem. The best way to perfect your pronunciation is to listen closely to tha Arabic speaker. Stop the cassette as you go along, imitate, and repeat. Note that like sounds throughout the text will vary in pronunciation depending on adjacent sounds or even ‘the social situation. Training your ear to detect these varia- tions will sharpen not only your pronunciation skills but your Understanding of spoken Arabic as well Now, start the cassette SIDE 1 and proceed with the text CENERAL EXPRESSIONS ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION ARABIC SALUTATIONS, Good morning ‘Good aireroon, ‘masaz’atkhayr va Sobaah alkhayr ya syet bel phe fom bel ol i Fone Way How ae you, How a you, Ki haaleya Tey bbs Madame sayin How are you?
