DVD of Levantine Videos for Al-kitaab Arabic Language Program: Pt. 3: From Alif Baa to Al-Kitaab (DVD)

One of the distinguishing features of the "Al-Kitaab" program is its introduction of dialects alongside Modern Standard Arabic. In the dialogue sections of each of the four volumes and on the multimedia, students can follow the story of Maha and Khalid in the Egyptian dialect. "The DVD of Levantine Videos for Al-Kitaab Arabic Language Program" provides comparable dialect videos now in the Levantine dialect. Filmed entirely in Damascus, these video dialogues have been "translated" to reflect the greater Levantine language and culture and follow the parallel story of two new characters, Nasreen and Tariq. The DVD features Levantine versions of all the dialogue clips that correspond to each of the program's four volumes, from "Alif Baa" through "Al-Kitaab Part Three". Third editions of the "Al-Kitaab" textbooks incorporate these videos alongside the Egyptian videos throughout.
