More about this book
The book's blurb...

"The fast and easy way to learn to speak Modern Standard Arabic Regarded as one of the most difficult languages to learn for native English speakers, Arabic is gaining global prominence and importance. Recent world events have brought more and more English speakers into contact with Arabic–speaking populations, and governments and businesses are increasingly aware of the importance of basic Arabic language skills.

The book also includes an Arabic–English dictionary, verb tables, and an audio CD with dialogues from the book to help you perfect your pronunciation Written by a native Arabic speaker who helped start a year–round Arabic department at Middlebury College, Arabic For Dummies is just what you need to start making yourself understood in Arabic. CD–ROM and other supplementary materials are not included as part of the e–book file, but are available for download after purchase."

How will the winners be chosen?
75 people will be picked at random (we've a special little computer program to do it) and a private message will be sent to each of their winning usernames requesting their USERNAME, FULL NAME and ADDRESS details (there'll be an email address to send this information to, we don't want it done via private messages).

The FIRST 25 people to get back to me will win a copy of the book.

When will I get the book?
The publisher providing these books will send them out directly, though to aid administration, this won't happen until all 25 winners have provided their names and addresses, so it may take several weeks between the giveaway's end and actual receipt.
