This introduction to Levantine Arabic pronunciation is designed to teach the student to recognize the major points of phonological interference between Levantine Arabic and American English, as well as the significant phonological contrasts within the dialect of Arabic itself, and to provide the student with a model for mimicry. Tape recordings accompany the nineteen drill sections. The words chosen for the drills are mostly verbs with a heavy literary bias; meaning and normal colloquial usage (aside from pronunciation) are not important here. Within each section, a drill-sequence is followed so that the student first practices hearing the sound or contrast; then he is given a chance to mimic it. The seven types of drills used are familiarization, reading, dictation, discrimination, recognition, mimicry, and transformation. (Author/VM)
