Arabic Accents (Middle East region + Northern Africa) Learning Materials

  • The Arabic accents materials include recordings of AccentHelp coach Jim Johnson guiding you through the basics of accents throughout the region surrounding the Middle East and Northern Africa using the text, including tracks of Jim and a native Arabic speaker leading you through a monologue, practice words, and practice sentences in the accent. The materials include native speakers from 14 different countries reading through all of the practice sentences and the monologue, as well.
  • There are also recordings of even more native speakers - over six and a half hours of recordings in total - along with a PDF of transcripts of their conversations.
  • You'll get a PDF of the teaching materials, plus two other formats of the same book: a PDF file to print and EPUB for other portable readers.
  • These materials cover the general elements of various Arabic-influenced accents, including speakers from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia, Ethiopia, and more. You can see a complete listing below.
  • All of the sound files are in MP3 format so that you can play them on your computer, load them onto your phone, or burn them to a CD.
  • You'll receive a link via email so that you can download all of the materials as ZIP files directly to your computer immediately. (The link will expire in four weeks, so download the materials right away, if possible. Portable devices usually can't handle zip files, so it's best to download directly to your computer and store them there before transferring them to whatever device you want to use.)
  • You'll also get future updates for free! (Last update was March of 2022.)

    All profits from these materials go to diversity scholarships for actors at the University of Houston.
