A new Windows-based program called Latifah allows students of Arabic  
to drill on vocabulary in three different ways: Flash card mode, List  
mode, and Game mode. The word lists can be customized, or the user  
can load one of the pre-packaged word lists that come with the  
program. These pre-packaged lists include the most common first-year  
words included with such texts as al-Kitaab. Entries appear in a  
grid, and columns for plurals, verb forms, and roots are included as  
an aid to study. Vowell marks can be turned on and off. Lists can be  
sorted, printed, edited, and saved, and there is an easy way for the  
student to keep track of their level of mastery for any given word.

As an introductory offer the program is available free to school and  
university Arabic instructors ($35 regularly). Download the program  
from SwissSys Software at www.SwissSys.com. The program as downloaded  
is in demo mode with a size limit on the word lists. Email the  
author, Thad Suits (suits at initco.net), for your user name and serial  
number to unlock the full version of the program. Windows Arabic  
keyboard support must be enabled on the computer.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thank you.

Thad Suits
