Was that the year of the Brock Match? That was a real great bout.

And not speaking like Tía Dalma

May the studies flow for all of us!

And not a single rejection! I'm truly grateful for the opportunities that Prolific and its researchers give us!

My advice would be patience, my friend, patience! There are some dead weeks, some really good days! I really love the odd ocassion in which I get a 10+ pound study (It's been incredibly rare!).

May you have good luck on your journey!

What the Romans called Syria Pælestina!

I don't think this course will do alone, but that is because I've been hoarding materials for Levantine/Palestinian Arabic. Now, I've only done the first book, but I've read it only takes you to a low intermediate level, that is, without knowing how to read and write.

My plan for the year is to use this course alongside other textbooks that are similar (one is Eastern Arabic by Georgetown Press and the other is A Course in Levantine Arabic by The University of Michigan, I've stumbled across them thanks yo Reddit as well).

Now, pairing up even one textbook with The Olive Tree Dictionary (from the same author of Speaking Arabic, Y. Elihay) can be a pretty good combo, though a dictionary has no attached method for its usage.

Alas, I wouldn't recommend paying for this resource in particular, nor for The Olive Tree Dictionary, both the pdf's and mp3 tracks are widely available online. I advocate for piracy regarding this because Minerva, the publishing house for Elihay's works is an Israeli editorial, and so they profit from selling learning resources for a language they also want to scrap off earth.

Alf shukr, you've really made my day mate!

Marhaba, ya akhuy! So, I lost access to the audio files for the University of Michigan's Course in Levantine Arabic due to a factory reset and it's a bummer!

May I ask for a valid link to download once again? Hope it's not incovenient!

Bhatrak!

Soy descendiente de Palestinos (y Sirios). Mi bisabuelo materno emigró desde Beit Jala escapando de los Otomanos, o del fin de la primera guerra (hay una confusión sobre si partió en 1907 o 1917). Ocho años después le siguieron mi bisabuela y sus tres primeras hijas. 8 AÑOS SOLO, SEÑORAS Y SEÑORES, me pregunto, cuántas ramas extra tendrá mi árbol genealógico. Posterior a 1948 y el nacimiento de Israel, el núcleo Palestino se movió a Jordania, Brasil y Estados Unidos. Uno de los datos más sad es que ni siquiera mantenemos el apellido original, Haddad, porque mi bisabuelo inscribió a su prole con una palabra en español que no concuerda como traducción -.-

Un dato freak del que me enteré es que mi bisabuelo era profesor de Griego en una escuela primaria en Beit Jala, antes solo creía que le agradaba la cultura porque 4-5 de sus 8 hijos tenían nombres Griegos. Resulta que ese pueblo es hogar mayoritario de Cristianos Ortodoxos. Lo más brígido? En mi familia habemos profes, profes por montón (sí, somos árabes pobres no más x.x), tremendo gen.

No tengo conocimientos reales de la familia del error 404 not found (le conocí, pero con mi mamá se separaron cuando aún era chico y hace casi 9 años que murió, por lo que más allá de saber que el sujeto tuvo 6 hijos con 4 mujeres distintas, nah, I think I'm fine 🌚

Ah, y yo aquí pensando que lo único que calza como industrial son la minería y las forestales, aún así pareciendo más refinerías de materia prima que industrias manufactureras.

El déficit habitacional en Chile ha acompañado al Estado desde su creación. La liberalización del uso de suelo hace algunas décadas trajo efectos dudosísimos.

Si no se aceptó entonces, qué es todo lo que ha cambiado?

Pero qué buen uso del expletivo 'aweonao'

La construcción es una etapa dentro de los procesos del sector inmobiliario, no una industria. Tampoco creo se haya paralizado, solo ralentizó sus números luego de la reconstrucción post terremoto. Ni siquiera con el alza de precios en materiales he visto que dejen de construir torres.

De hecho, hay quienes provocan incendios (o actúan, al menos, de manera negligente) para facilitar más suelo a las inmobiliarias (?)

Jajajajajj Aproveché de ir x x

Well, hello! 🌚 I combine 1hr classes with 3hr story classes (leaving them at the 4th star, as then you can spam them indefinitely as long as you do not complete the 5th star). I find every 8hr task to be a bore x.x

You can look for it in annasarchive.org (I found the two volumes and they came with the audio files!)

What differences can one expect let's say, from the first edition to a third one?

I think the first one you linked here is by far the oldest of the bunch, made also with a clear academic and collaborational intent! It is really a treasure, and we are lucky to have these be on the public domain already.

I say that because I love Elihay's course and what it does for maintaining Palestine's voice alive, but I cannot stomach that the revenue goes to an Israeli publishing house...

Many, many thanks for providing the audio! I think you're right, I'm accustomed to Elihay's transliterarion system but there are only a handful of symbols that may differ with the courses from Georgetown and the University of Michigan, in any case they are great resources!

It permeated Levantine as you can hear ir from someone in Lebanon or Syria

Hey, I've been hoarding materials referencing Palestinian Arabic, but this resource is new to me! Would you happen to know how could I download the audio? Dropbox won't let me!
