Subject:Arabic Script vs Transliteration for Dialects Discussion

As far as I can see, Gerald Lampe's own mail in support of the system he
advocates demonstrates pretty well that it won't work. From my  
experience,
transliteration is better _even_ when students already have learned MSA.
And that is the way it was for me too, when I started colloquial  
Egyptian
with T. S. Mitchell's still unmatched introduction to the language  
that he
wrote for Shell and published in 1956.
