Have you always wanted to learn how to speak the Iraqi Arabic dialect but simply didn't have the time? Look no further.

You can now hold in your hands "Conversational Arabic Quick and Easy: Iraqi Dialect - Part I, II, and III," a comprehensive language course and one of the most advanced and revolutionary programs ever designed for becoming conversational in a new language.

In creating this time-saving method, master linguist Yatir Nitzany spent years examining the twenty-seven most common languages in the world, distilling from them the core words most likely to be used in real-life daily conversations. These words were strategically chosen for their structural interrelation, allowing you to bridge them together to form complete sentences almost immediately.

Through unique discoveries about the mechanics of natural dialogue, Nitzany created the necessary tools for linking these words in a specific way so that you may become rapidly and almost effortlessly conversant—now.

If you want to study complicated grammar rules or speak perfectly academic Arabic, this book is not for you. However, if you need to actually hold a conversation while on a trip to Iraq, impress a friend, or speak with your grandparents as soon as possible, then the Nitzany Method is exactly what you have been looking for.

This program is designed for functional fluency while communicating in the present tense. The Nitzany Method prioritizes the most important goal of language: being able to understand and be understood by another human being right away. Formalized training in complex grammar can always come later.

As part of a globally recognized series of instructional language guides, this revolutionary approach uses unique language technology to enable you to understand native speakers in the shortest amount of time possible.

Dual Learning: All words are taught in both the Arabic alphabet and simplified English transliteration.

All-in-One: No more depending on volumes of beginner, intermediate, and advanced textbooks with hundreds of pages. With Conversational Arabic Quick and Easy: Iraqi Dialect – Part I, II, and III, you have everything you need in one place.
