In the dialogue<br>sections of each of the four volumes and on the multimedia, students can<br>follow the story of Maha and Khalid in the Egyptian dialect. The DVD of<br>Levantine Videos for Al-Kitaab Arabic Language Program provides comparable<br>dialect materials now in the Levantine dialect. Filmed entirely in<br>Damascus, these video dialogues have been "translated" to reflect the<br>greater Levantine language and culture and follow the parallel story of two<br>new characters, Nasreen and Tariq. The DVD features Levantine versions of<br>all the dialogue clips that correspond to each of the program's four<br>volumes, from Alif Baa through Al-Kitaab Part Three. <br><br></span>
