I am just about to start learning Arabic and am thinking about about buying Mastering
Arabic 1 by Jane Wightwick and Mahmoud Gaafar for MSA, but am not sure what to get for learning Iraqi Arabic which I want to learn because there's a lot of people who speak that dialect or are at least from Iraq living around me and because it's supposedly easier than MSA. So is Mastering Arabic a good book for learning MSA and what do you guys think about Iraqi dialect learning material? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

For Iraqi Arabic ,you can search for the free DLI courses in the net. There is a particular course there for this dialect.
https://jlu.wbtrain.com/sumtotal/language/DLI%20basic%20cour ses/ Mastering Arabic seems to be a good book. Many members are using it. Be sure to search for reviews in Amazon. Many forum members are using it . So search for the thread "Arabic Study Group". 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Modern Iraqi Arabic with MP3 Files, Second Edition: Modern Iraqi Arabic with MP3 Files: A Textbook (Arabic Edition) [Paperback] Yasin M. Alkalesi (Author) 4.9 out of 5 stars See all reviews (8 customer reviews) Amazon recommends this one. Sounds good to me, too. But what about Pimsleur? I believe there's a new Pimsleur for MSA specifically, and their eastern Arabic course should be kinda OK for Iraqui as well (though I don't know really). Having these two extremely similar courses side by side could help to see both dialects in contrast. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

A couple of us have formed a study group for Arabic (, the one linguaholic_ch mentioned). We're all beginners. We're all using different books. One of us is even using the book you've mentioned.
You're welcome to join us. :-) Best of luck with Arabic! Edited by napoleon on 04 April 2014 at 8:43pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Cetacea studied Arabic in Yemen. She rarely visits the forum these days, but if you pm her, she can probably recommend some books and other teaching materials to you. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
