Ahlan Wa Sahlan

Letters and Sounds of the Arabic Language

This new sound and script workbook is intended to be used and completed by students before they begin using the second edition of the Ahlan wa Sahlan textbook. The workbook helps students learn the alphabet, numerals, and sounds of the Arabic language. The 6 units in the workbook correlate to the first 6 lessons of the first edition Ahlan wa Sahlan textbook, published in 2000. The workbook comes with access to online media: http://yupnet.org/languages/ahlan-wa-sahlan.

The new edition of this widely used text covers the first year of instruction in Modern Standard Arabic. It will teach students to read, speak, and write Arabic, while presenting an engaging story that involves Adnan, a Syrian student studying in the United States, and Michael, an American student studying in Cairo. In diaries, letters, and postcards, the two students describe their thoughts and activities, revealing how a non-American views American culture and how the Arabic culture is experienced by an American student. This new edition features a DVD video, filmed in Syria; expanded communicative activities; an updated audio program; and material designed according to proficiency principles. Features of the New Edition include:

Reviews

"'Ahlan wa Sahlan', in its newly enhanced form, will continue to be what it has already been: an excellent syllabus with which Arabic-language programs and individual courses can introduce learners to the language, creating a user-friendly environment within which both teacher and learner can operate with comfort and profit" – Roger Allen, University of Pennsylvania

"The appealing presentation and the variety of approaches to learning are commendable... I found this course package to be both rich and enriching" – Mohammad Al-Masri, The University of Oklahoma, The Modern Language Journal
