As the sixth most commonly spoken language in the world, a strong knowledge of both written and spoken Arabic is in high demand, creating incredible opportunities for today’s students of language and culture to become tomorrow's global leaders Designed specifically for non-native students, Collagulal Palestinian Arable provides an essential foundation in the spoken dialect of Palestine, focusing on the structure, pronunciation, vocsbulary, culture, grammar, and real-life daly use ofthe language. Following the story of a ‘group of Wester students abroad in Palestine, Colloquia Plestiian Arabie provides students with valuable cultural and linguistic insight that is relevant to their own lives and will inspire them to open their minds to new experiences and perspectives. The interactive audio materials that accompany the text provide invaluable exposure to the spoken word and facilitate the acquisition of Palestinian Arabic as a living language. Before working with Collogual Palestinian Arabic, students should have a working knowledge of Modern Standard Arabic. Since the majority ofthe material in this book is presented in Arabic (grammar explanations and some cultural references are given in English to ensure student comprehension) itis suggested that students have previously completed at leat three semesters of Arabic and have a general understanding of the written language. Recognizing the difficulties thatthe pronunciation of written Arabic may present to the non-native speaker, the Arabic in this book has been vocalized (vowelle) to provide a phonetic guide that provides students with the tools they need to successfully comprehend and replicate the correct sounds of Palestinian Arabic. REELED ILE, te choice to provide students with the opportunity to read the text in vocalized Arabic ‘stead ofthe phonetic Romanization of Arabic is: + Culturally appropriate: giving students additional exposure to and practice with traditional ‘Arabic seript + Accurate: avoiding errors in the transcription and mispronunciation of certain letters, words, snd phrases due to the inherent differences between the two alphabets + Simplified: eliminating the confusion of switching between two different alphabets Guided: vocalized Arabie offers students a precise phonetic guide that will prove easier to follow and reproduce when used in conjunction with the recorded audio files ‘Level appropriate: students that have studied written Arabic and are looking to acquire conversational skis in a colloquial dialect will benefit from the additional exposure to the writen script Clloguiat Palestinian Arabic sims at developing 2 novice-high to intermediate-high level of language proficiency with special emphasis on listening and speaking. Knowledge of the rich and attractive spoken dialect of Palestinian will provide an excellent gateway to the Arabic world. In Gaza, one can hear the dialect of the people of Yaffa and the dialects of the nearby towns and villages. In Ramallah, one may hear the dialect of Khalalah “the people from Hebron” in addition to the dialects of many surrounding towns and villages. By learning the language and culture of Palestine, students will broaden their horizons, acquire new skills, and ‘8in invaluable insight that will better prepare them to become globl citizens. Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: + Introduce themselves and request personal information from others on a vatety of topics, such as health, travel, and the family *Greet others and appropriately handle social interactions + Maintain a conversation with native speakers and use coustesy phrases + Order @ meal and shop for vegetables, fruits, clothes, and sweets ‘Ask about, describe, and compare different things, people, objects, and scenes + Use adjectives to easily talk about, describe, and compare past, present, and fatue situations + Ask for services, give instructions, and provide directions 1 Use language freely in order to deal with different social and cultural situations such as reals, funerals, weddings, and jokes ‘Interact appropriately with others ata variety of locations such as the barber shop, hotel, border crossing, check point, and airport “+ Narrate and describe specific life experiences, trips, and social occasions using present, past, fiatuce, and the imperative + Participate actively in conversations in most informal and formal settings by using language and cultural expressions to make requests, express, describe, and compare preferences Organization of the Book Colloguiat Palestinian Arabic is designed to be the primary text for a dialect course. We expect that the challenging yet stimulating content available inthis book will provide an incentive for students to want to improve thei language skills and gain a deeper understanding ofthe culture and traditions ofthe Arabic-speaking world It is expected that each unit of Collaguial Palestinian Arabic wil take an average of 9 to UL contact hours. Students should expect to spend at least twice as much time outside of cass studying and preparing their materials. This textbook has been designed to give instructors the freedom to deliver the lessons the way they deem most appropriate for their students, but based on the fact that vocabulary, common expressions, and grammar are constant recycled throughout the units, you may find it helpful to follow the order of the lessons provided.in ‘each of the ten units in this book you will find the following sections: Story & Dialogue Each chapter opens with a carefully scripted dialogue that follows the story of three North ‘American students and their Palestinian fiends as they travel throughout Gaza, the West Bank and Jordan. The dialogues have been constructed in such a way so as to present students and instructors with examples ofall aspects of eollagual Palestinian Arabic, including diction, syntax, intonation, and stress, Each chapter features one original dialogue that provides the basis for vocabulary, grammatical concepts, and cultural content introduced throughout the chapter.

Audio recordings of all chapter dialogues are performed by native speakers of Palestinian Arabic and provide students with a precise model for pronunciation and intonation. Common verbs Each chapter includes ten additional new verbs for study and practice. Giving students small closes of verbs in each chapter will facilitate their ability to master their use and incorporate them into their active vocabulary.

In Palestinian society, itis common that if person at- tends the sale of such things as land or crops, they will also get a small share of what is being sold Seller's little extra supply When Arabs goto the market to buy something, such as food or spices, they might ask for “ouditi-bayyaaa,” ora litle extra of whatever they're buying I isa request from the cus: tomer and a generosity on the part of the seller. In the apricot (season) his expression is said frequently and sarcastically in response to @ request too preposterous to be granted, In English the equivalent is “In your dreams!” The proverb originates from the association of two fruit sellers, an Egyptian and a Syrian, who took turns holding the scale and filling it. The Egyptian held the scale during the apricat season and while he was busy ‘weighing, he saw the Syrian eating the best apricots. When it was time to sell grapes, the Egyptian started eating the best grapes in large quantities while his partner was busy weigh ing, The Syrian engrily said to his Egyptian partner, “You should take the grapes one by one” ‘The Egyptian replied, “That's in regard to the apricots.” SSSI SITS SISSY desl lana gll ) Liste] aigl Kb gedl S sgaeall gl aed ple al Pebw EAU pep vals fe i 5 sco $45) 5 agp iat ol cout ble SOB led U oly Sas a 36 aly KL Lesh b ylS sis Sle Ile ail dle (fle gf poke and af yids) 1 Se pratt i gf Hab le pals ghey ally aye glee g at dL gl RSME Je agua gh gst lea Lega STN g Spite ily ay gh We UL cab BN ial hep BULL ge 4 Js Sb fe gl Lee g Sal te pC I Sey ue je SE bg aa lula e coy SL Nh at gf ¢ det fle Said LS ol ny Ge Eolas viele Vogl isl BO ties hg and dea a seo dude ob fl Sg ot AA SS cla SES Sl ool oe Je gia Hp Nk ge WU bey 5 Ge eg fle gl ely b stl Vy dy ea ls Sake bale cl, gS LBD oy Shans Sal at Saeatl gfe G dues Wb UL pte) Ye lag be Slag ily Las Sled 9 ally JL gt ages La fle SS fle is areal) Usage beg Se ep U J gH Jbic delice 5 hey slg 5H & gull a ee ED Saas a el alee foe Lad Ty Cufle cpul yal las lay Jie!
