I wish I would have read the review before I purchased this item – BECAUSE as the other person indicated – while the description clearly classifies this item as an AUDIO-BOOK —- there is only BOOK no AUDIO!!! I believe Amazon should contact the publisher and have the cassettes sent to us AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE!!

im in the airforce serving in iraq, some of the iraqi nat, guards that i work with were carrying around old arabic to english books with horrable translations and fotos of “our father sadam” all over them, including songs about sadam, so i bought a box of these books and gave them to the guards, they seemed really excited to get them, i really have no idea how good the books were or how practical they were, how ever it was really hard to find anything that was arabic-english.

The blurb on this book indicates that it comes with a book ANDan audio cassette – NOT SO! There was NO cassette, and the book alone is not worth half the price. I am an English tutor working with Syrian Arabic speakers. The English phrases in the text are oddly worded, not typical American English. I believe without outside help to make sense of the sentences, it will be difficult to get value from this book other than to help in some (very) basic English sentence structure.
