These audio sequences accompany the first part of Foundations of Standard Arabic. The book's purpose is to impart reading and writing skills in Arabic for the beginner student. In a relatively short time, the student will be able to read simple texts and easy articles from the Arabic press. The vocabulary introduced is broad and varied. It includes words and expressions from daily life as well as journalistic terms. The teaching method of this book is based on the theory that Arabic should be taught in Arabic: the student is asked to change sentences, to complete sentences, ask and answer questions in Arabic, and spell sentences in Arabic in order to create a flow in expression (oral and written), to deepen the proficiency of the language and assimilate the vocabulary.

Includes an audio CD.

This textbook is intended for Hebrew speakers. The study material was edited with the thought of Hebrew speakers' way of thinking. Grammatical occurrences that are unusual for Hebrew thinkers are explained at the end of each chapter. This book aims to impart the ability to read from Greek sources. Because there is no "easy Greek" literature this book makes do with single verses from Greek sources in order to demonstrate grammatical occurrences and stories that were expressly written in artificial Greek for the purpose of learning. There is a Hebrew-Greek dictionary at the end of the book.
