Moroccan Arabic was written by a dogged student of the language (and a natural teacher) and it was edited by a native speaker and equally wonderful teacher. Finally, a straight-forward and easy to use primer for learning Moroccan Arabic - and now, new and improved in this 2nd edition. It incorporates reader suggestions and features more details on the transliteration system, additional words, new word lists, and the text has been completely revised and re-edited. Practical and witty, its basically the equivalent of a VCR repair manual, just a bare-bones list of how to do the important things: heres the present tense, heres the future tense, etc, etc. In other words, its a reference book with simple examples, none of the filler, and a few youthful surprises. Its just the kind of cheat-sheet everyone craves. Best of all, and unlike the others, everything is provided side-by-side in English, transliteration, and Arabic. And it uses a simple real-word transliteration system that is simply written the way things sound without the use of exotic linguistic symbols.Its the perfect book for everyone with an interest in contemporary Morocco: travelers, tourists, students, diplomats, business people, academics, artists, Peace Corp volunteers, Fulbright Scholars and student grantees, etc.Praise for Moroccan Arabic from students, scholars and travelers on both side of the Atlantic: Fills a gaping hole in Moroccan Arabic instruction. Based on the first-hand immersion experiences of a native English-speaker who navigated Moroccan culture and language for a year... and as a researcher in Morocco myself, I found it handy. --Nabil Khan, Fulbright Student Grantee I love the sense of humor woven throughout - its an enjoyable read. A great example of collaboration. --Edwin Bodensiek, Dir. of Outreach and Public Relation, CIES - Fulbright, Washington, DC A great resource. I wish had this book when I was traveling and researching in Morocco. --Dr Jennifer
