Moroccan Arabic was written by a dogged student of the language (and a natural teacher) and it was edited by a native speaker and equally wonderful teacher. Practical and witty, it's basically the equivalent of a VCR repair manual, just a bare-bones list of how to do the important things: here's the present tense, here's the future tense, etc, etc. In other words, it's a reference book with simple examples, none of the filler, and a few youthful surprises. It's just the kind of cheat-sheet everyone craves. Best of all, and unlike the others, everything is provided side-by-side in English, transliteration, and Arabic. And it uses a simple real-word transliteration system that is simply written the way things sound without the use of exotic linguistic symbols. Praise for Moroccan Arabic from students and scholars on both side of the Atlantic: The sub-title of the book is hilarious! Buy it - a great resource for anyone serious about exploring modern Morocco and learning Arabic. -Soufiane Chami, ICPS - Tangier I love the sense of humor woven throughout - it's an enjoyable read. A great example of collaboration. -Edwin Bodensiek, Dir of Outreach and PR, CIES (Fulbright), Washington, DC This book fills a gaping hole in Moroccan Arabic instruction. Based on the first-hand immersion experiences of a native English-speaker who navigated Moroccan culture and language for a year... and as a researcher in Morocco myself, I found it handy. -Nabil Khan, Fulbright Student Grantee `07-`08 Far from being an ordinary dry text-book, Shnoo the Hell is Going on H'naa playfully combines the features of professional linguistics with lively real world sensibilities... [it's] a faithful companion on your travels to the other side of the Atlantic. -Rajae Khaloufi, ICPS - Tangier Written by a born teacher. This book enhances effective language instruction and builds a collection of everyday conversation resources for Anglo-American students and scholars. -Dr Khalid Amine, President, ICPS - Tangier Many people contributed to making the book a reality and by agreement of all, the proceeds from the sale of this book go to support the publishing program at the International Centre for Performance Studies (ICPS) - Tangier, Morocco.
