From there, the course progresses into ninety-seven short, conversational dialogs that place the student in a variety of social situations.First introduced to Arabic language students in the 1960s, "A Basic Course in Moroccan Arabic" still has no equal for clarity and ease of use. An audio CD of MP3 files that further aid and enhance the lessons is now bound into this volume.
