The War in Iraq Spurs Continued Demand for Arabic Courses and New Delivery Methods for those Courses
Dallas, Texas- April 14, 2008
Despite the fact that the Al-Qaeda network have been in operation since the 1990s, US intelligence organizations are still severely hampered by a deficiency in obtaining sufficient Arabic language experts. Out of desperation and out of a lack of success, the CIA, FBI and the military are turning to a variety of venues to find speakers who can speak Farsi, Pashto, Dari, Turkmen, Uzbek, and of course Arabic.
In line with the growing need for Arabic language resources for diplomatic and military personnel stemming from the continuing War in Iraq, the Ultimate Language Store announces the release of an intensive course for learning Iraqi Arabic via download available at http://www.ultimatelanguagestore.com.
Based on the popular Foreign Service Institute Course and DLI courses that have been successfully used by thousands of students to learn Iraqi Arabic, the Ultimate Language Store's Iraqi Arabic Dialect Course is now available via digital download. The course provides an introduction for those who are unfamiliar with the Iraqi dialect, and presumes a rudimentary understanding of Arabic.
This is the latest in a series of CD and download courses published by the Ultimate Language Store. Other Arabic courses now offered via download include FSI Modern Written Arabic levels 1 and 2, FSI Levantine Arabic, Iraqi Arabic Dialect Dictionary, Saudi Arabic Head Start, and FSI Saudi Arabic.
The Iraqi Dialect Arabic course consists of eleven lessons: The first lesson focuses on pronunciation and an introduction of Iraqi dialect sounds; lessons two through eleven are designed around selected topic areas which highlight common situations one might expect to encounter. Typical situations include greetings, use of courtesy phrases, expressions of time and weather, and similar topics. These lessons illustrate these topics using relevant dialogues, with an emphasis on the key vocabulary related to that topic.
The Ultimate Language Store\'s Iraqi Arabic download version is available for $35 at http://www.ultimatelanguagestore.com/inc/sdetail/34105 or by calling 1-888-310-3643.
The Ultimate Language Store provides language a variety of courses for learning 150 different languages and dialects.
