Conversational Arabic Quick and Easy
Summary
Have you always wanted to learn how to speak the Lebanese Arabic dialect but simply didn't have the time? Well if so, then, look no further. This book contains one of the most advanced and revolutionary methods that was ever designed for quickly becoming conversational in a language. In creating this time-saving program, master linguist Yatir Nitzany spent years examining the 27 most common languages in the world and distilling from them the 350 words that are most likely to be used in real conversations. These three 350 words were chosen in such a way that they were structurally interrelated and, when combined, form sentences. Through various other discoveries about how real conversations work - discoveries that are detailed further in this book - Nitzany created the necessary tools for linking these words together in a specific way so that you may become rapidly and almost effortlessly conversant - now. If your desire is to learn complicated grammatical rules or to speak perfectly proper and precise Arabic, this book is not for you. However, if you need to actually hold a conversation while on a trip to Lebanon, to impress that certain someone, or to be able to speak with your grandfather or grandmother as soon as possible, then the Nitzany Method is what you have been looking for. This book is recommended for those who already have some prior knowledge of the pronunciation of Arabic accents (such as the Arabic accents: ayin, ghayn, ha, and khaf). For those of you who do not, this book does indeed provide some in-depth techniques on the pronunciation and recognition of these accents, that you will encounter throughout the program. These techniques have proven extremely beneficial for beginner students who were previously unfamiliar with these accent pronunciations. But keep in mind this isn't a pronunciation book! Lebanese Arabic encompasses three slightly different dialects, the dialects of the north, south, and center of the country (Beirut). The one in this book is the Beirut dialect. In the Lebanese dialect, verb conjugation is irregular, and this book will not teach you those skills since this is not a grammar book. In most languages, including Classical Arabic, a conjugated verb is always followed by an infinitive verb, but this is not the case in the Lebanese colloquial dialect since every verb in the sentence must be conjugated. Keep in mind that Lebanese Arabic is not an official language, but rather is a colloquial dialect. The purpose of my method is solely to give you the tools to create your own sentences in order to become conversational, while in regards to grammar, pronunciation, etc., you are on your own! This method is designed for fluency in a foreign language, while communicating in the first person present tense. Nitzany believes that what's most important is actually being able to understand and be understood by another human being right away. More formalized training in grammar rules, etc., can come later.

French: How to Get Really Good at French
Summary
Millions of people learn French, but only a very small percentage of learners can actually speak it fluently. Why is that? People in general are quick to point out that some are naturally built more than others to learn French and other languages. This is not necessarily true, however, since we have all come to learn and speak our native language fluently. If you find yourself overwhelmed trying to memorize thousands of French vocabulary words or grammar rules or are struggling to speak French with native speakers, try this audiobook! This is not a basic French-for-beginners textbook designed to teach French but is an audiobook that will teach you how to learn French the smart way and get you to fluency faster using highly effective language-learning methods and techniques. There exists hundreds of French language course guides, French phrase books, and basic French for beginners textbooks, but without smart language-learning techniques and strategies, you are likely to forget what you have studied and reviewed, especially during a conversation. There exists an easier and more fun way to build your overall French language ability. In How to Get Really Good at French, discover how you can easily conquer French language-learning using highly effective methods and strategies used by polyglots (language-learning experts). These methods and techniques can even be used to learn French vocabulary, grammar, and phrases from TV shows, videos, music, and video games. Learn French smarter and faster starting today!

Michel Thomas Beginner Mandarin Chinese Lesson 1
Summary
What is the Michel Thomas Method?The Michel Thomas Method teaches everyday conversational language that will allow you to communicate in a wide variety of situations, empowered by the ability to create your own sentences and use the language instinctively, having absorbed the vocabulary and grammatical structures. These all-audio courses were perfected over 25 years by gifted linguist and teacher Michel Thomas, and provide an accelerated method for language learning that is truly revolutionary. Lessons 1-8, the Beginner course: This course makes no assumption of knowledge of any language other than English and gives the beginner practical and functional use of the spoken language. It is also appropriate for anyone who has studied Mandarin Chinese before, but has forgotten much of it or does not have confidence in speaking. The Beginner course is designed to take you from complete beginner to intermediate level. Lessons 9-12, the Intermediate course: This course is for those with an intermediate-level foundation in Mandarin Chinese, or those who have completed lessons 1-8 and want to take their learning to an advanced level and speak Mandarin Chinese proficiently and easily. How does it work? Unlike most language courses that focus around topics or grammar forms, the Michel Thomas Method works by breaking a language down into its component parts, enabling you to reconstruct the language yourself - to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when you want. Within the first 10 minutes of the course, you will be generating complete sentences on your own. It is important that you complete the lessons in order. The Method is successful because it builds on the language you learn in each lesson and 'recycles' language taught in earlier lessons, allowing you to build ever-more complicated sentences. Because the Method is based on understanding, not memorisation, there is no set limit to the length of time that you should study each lesson. Once you feel you have a good grasp of the language taught in one lesson, you can move on to the next. In lesson 1 of the Mandarin Chinese Beginner course, you’ll learn about the tones, make simple statements (positive and negative) and ask questions with…- tones in Mandarin Chinese- nouns: 'person', 'kingdom/nation', 'China' (= 'middle kingdom'), 'America' (= 'beautiful kingdom'), 'England/Britain' (= 'brave kingdom')- adjectives: 'Chinese', 'English/British', 'busy'- pronouns: 'I/me', 'you', 'he/him/she/her/it', 'we/us', 'they/them'- verb: 'to be'- forms of verbs don't change- adverb: 'all/both'- useful words: 'and', 'but', 'no/not'- negative sentences- spoken marker for questions- expressions: 'yes' (= 'is'), 'how about XXX?'- adjectives include sense 'to be'. In the next lesson you’ll learn about word order, the 'trampoline rule' for 'not', and how to use adjectives and 'adjective verbs', and you'll be able to ask 'why?'
