Tunisian Arabic in 30 Lessons


This is an enjoyable, easy to read and practical handbook to learn Tunisian Arabic, the spoken language of Tunisia. Tunisian Arabic, like Egyptian or Moroccan for instance, is a vernacular of Modern Standard Arabic. However, contrarily to MSA, it is a real and natural language that is spoken in real life, by real people: unlike Standard Arabic, which in reality is not a spoken language, unless in the news and formal seminaries, or read in books and newspapers.
This book is intended to help visitors to Tunisia explore and enjoy Tunisian culture in an authentic way, by familiarizing with one facet of its identity: its spoken vernacular!
It is also helpful to people who wish to communicate in Tunsian Arabic with Tunisians worldwide, but also with speakers of related Arabic dialects in general, like Egyptian, Libyan, Syrian and Gulf dialects.
Finally, this is a funny and instructive book for readers who enjoy discovering exotic foreign languages…and who are always keen to learn new exotic foreign languages!
Two related external resources are dedicated to this book, a blog and a facebook page:
http://tunisianarabic24.blogspot.com/
http://www.facebook.com/tunisianarabic1
Here there will be constant updates, events and news, such as book signing ceremonies in Tunisia and a forum for reader's comments, feedback and discussions.
Complementary learning material, mainly audiolingual, will be posted in these internet pages too!
After reading this book and with some practice, with other readers of "TA in 30 Lessons", (that would ideally take place in Tunisia!) you will be able, to really speak and genuinely communicate in Tunisian Arabic!

Four Fantastic Tales From Tunisia

Four original Tunisian tales selected from the rich oral literature. Inspired and adapted from marvellous folktales told by the very popular Tunisian storyteller: Abdelaziz El Aroui, in the 60s/70s.
Sabra and Sultan : In 'Ayoun Essid', an isolated Tunisian village, where locals communicate mainly through proverbs lived Sabra, an ambitious and idealist girl. After a divorce, she flees her village and the malicious gossip to live with a lion with mysteriously humane eyes. Together, they found the utmost happiness and enjoyment; a semi-human, semi- animal life. Sabra tried to satisfy Sultan's inner longing to be a Man! But she was also satisfying her own old desire for The Perfect Happiness. Was she wise to do so? Didn't she escape 'The World of Men?' An oral tale adapted to written English, keeping the magical spirit of the original. The story is built around a core Tunisian proverb: 'Malicious words dwell in the heart...', infused with other proverbs: each proverb playing a crucial role in the plot.
The Couscous Genie: Yet another story where a genie realizes wishes. However, this Genie is really unconventional and is typically Tunisian as he comes out of a Couscous steamer!
The Hanged man and The Dead Girl relates the strange circumstances of a love story in the old Medina. A bizarre and almost supernatural story.
The Great And Marvelous Akarek is an original tunisian adaptation of a well-known story: A frail tailor who, after accidentally killing seven flies, is extremely proud of his strength and goes through a journey full of hilarious adventures!

O the beauty of the desert and its joys
O how beautiful are its sands
A sea of sands with swirling waves
Its Gazelles galop here and there

How sublime is the sight of the oasis
When it is near dusk
