SURVIVAL ARABICPHRASEBOOK & DICTIONARYHow to communicate without fuss or fear INSTANTLY!Revised Editionby Yamina Gharsa and Fethi MansouriIntroduction Most people use fewer than 1000 words of their first language - photo 1Introduction Most people use fewer than 1,000 words of their first language every day. With just a vocabulary of a few hundred words, youll be able to communicate a lot of ideas so as to socialize with the locals as well as to survive any situation you might find yourself in. Survival Arabics approach is all about providing you with words, expressions and phrases commonly used in Arab socities, and supplying them both in helpful romanized transliteration and in Arabic characters. We hope this book helps you take the first step to communicating in Arabic with those who speak it. How to Use This Book There are at least ten different Arabic dialects used throughout the Arabic world, and although they belong to the same family, they can be as different as French, Italian, Spanish, and other Romance languages are from one another. These are bridged by Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), which all Arabs can use to communicate with each other, and its what weve used in this book, with some colloquial phrases added in to help you along the way.

In addition to the Arabic characters, a transliteration using the familiar English alphabet is provided to help you pronounce the words, phrases, or sentences correctly. At the beginning of this book is an invaluable pronunciation guide, which explains how to pronounce the soundswhereby you can use English as a guide to read out the Arabic lettersalthough nothing quite beats practicing with a native speaker to learn exactly how Arabic letters and sounds are pronounced. Arabic Pronunciation There are 28 letters in the Arabic alphabet, and their pronunciation is always the same, unlike the pronunciation of words like car and cease. THE ARABIC ALPHABET All Arabic letters are consonants. Generally speaking the Arabic language does not have the same system as the English alphabet.

ARABIC VOWELS In standard Arabic, there are three short vowels commonly called h arakaat and three long vowels called h uruf al mad . Short vowels These are indicated by adding small symbols, above or below the consonants they are to be pronounced to make the sounds a, u or i.
SignSound in EnglishExample
(fat h ah) above the lettera as in atkataba to write
(kasrah) below the letteri as in itkitaab a book
( d ammah) above the letteru as in putkutub books
In Survival Arabic, short vowels and diacritics are written to prevent confusion, e.g., to differentiate Amman from Oman or to indicate the passive voice, e.g., the passive form of the word to write kataba is written kutiba .

Short vowels and diacritics are useful for learners, but once you know the language they are not needed. Apart from religious and poetry texts, Arabs rarely use short vowels ( h arakaat). Long Vowels The long vowels are written with normal letters from the Arabic alphabet and they are the same sounds as the short vowels, but twice as long. These three letters are called: alif , waaw and yaa .

SignSound in EnglishExample
aa as in far but longeranaa I
ii as in seeum-mii my mother
uu as in noonboyoot houses
SHADDA (DOUBLING OF CONSONANTS) A double consonant is where the consonant is stressed, such as in bookkeeping or unnatural, e.g., muda rr is teacher. MADDAH A glottal stop, where the voice breaks like in uh-oh is denoted by a wavy line (~)
