interesting~~~ well.. I want to get native-like pronunciation in Englsih, but as you mentioned above, I have to get more meanings of english words. Because I hear what the speakers are saying but don’t know what it means in Korean. That’s the problem that I’ve been suffering from. ㅠ.ㅜ

@Jim Morrison Thanks for the tip Jim. I'm not a big fan of Java though. Generally speaking, our lesson structure is going to be downloadable in mp3 and pdf. Originally we had dedicated webpages with animations and the like, but compatability across platforms posed a problem.. so they got scrapped and have been in revision since.

Comment on The Truth About Arabic by Andee

Andee — Sat, 15 May 2010 02:54:34 +0000

@Randy
All true.. The issue that no ‘real’ people speak MSA thing is what gets me the most. It seems to be that the majority of coursebook writers dare not go against the grain and present something that reflects a localised variety of Arabic. I will say that I have seen a reader for Moroccan Arabic, then there are of course the Pimsleur Egyptian and Levantine editions, and the FSI materials that cover Levantine and Saudi, but outside of these few things I haven’t really seen anything (I do recall an online Syrian course… possibly). I must admit that I haven’t looked too hard since taking Arabic seriously is a few years away for me as yet.

In any case, I think it’s the MSA hurdle that would make Arabic a problem for those that can’t afford (financially, life commitments, etc) to go to an Arabic speaking region to immerse themselves in the vernacular… There’s always Skype I guess
