This is a new and improved digital format! Since the release of the second edition of "Alif Baa with DVDs" in the fall of 2004, thousands of Arabic language learners have benefited from the integrated textbook and DVDs. This new version - "Alif Baa with Multimedia" - functions even better and features a new and improved digital format. The content of "Alif Baa with Multimedia, Second Edition", including the text and all of the audio and video on the disk, is exactly the same as that of "Alif Baa with DVDs, Second Edition". Only the format of the disk has changed so that all files will be easy to play using the free Adobe Flash Player. All units are now included on only one disk. Teachers and students may use both versions of the textbook side-by-side in the classroom and notice no difference in content or appearance. It should not affect the learning experience or require teachers to do any additional preparation. It introduces about 150 basic vocabulary words, including conventional forms of politeness and social greetings. It introduces a range of Arabic from colloquial to standard in authentic contexts. It includes video footage of an Arabic calligrapher, capsules on Arabic culture, and images of street signs from Morocco, Egypt, and Lebanon. It provides the essential first 20-25 contact hours of the Al-Kitaab program. The DVD that accompanies "Alif Baa with Multimedia" plays in any computer's DVD drive. In order to view the files, you will need to download and install the free Flash Player from Adobe's website. System Requirements: Windows 450 MHz Intel Pentium II (or compatible) processor, MS Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista, 128MB of RAM and 128MB of VRAM, Computer with DVD drive, Headphones or speakers, Flash Player, Mac, 500 MHz PowerPC G3 or 1.33 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, and Mac OS X v10.4 or 10.5.
