An Introduction to Moroccan Arabic and Culture and the accompanying content-based multimedia DVD are designed to enable students to speak Moroccan Arabic. Since Moroccan Arabic is rarely written or used in formal communication, the strength of the book lies in training learners in speaking and listening skills that can be used in everyday situations.
Each chapter includes:
-cultural introductions to social, religious, or cultural aspects of Moroccan society
-listening comprehension exercises
-vocabulary exercises
-dialogues and texts
-conversation practice
-grammar instruction on how native speakers structure their speech
-interactive and video materials to support cultural understanding, listening, speaking, and grammar
The book uses Romanized transcription alongside Arabic script for the first three chapters and thereafter only the Arabic script. It also includes a glossary and answer key.
