Abstract:
Attention Users of Alif Baa
Since the release of the second edition of Alif Baa with DVDs in the fall of 2004, it has come to our attention that some of the DVD-ROMs packaged with the book exhibit poor playability. Therefore, Georgetown University Press has released a new version of the second edition with a new and improved digital format. Alif Baa with Multimedia: An Introduction to Arabic Letters and Sounds, Second Edition (ISBN 9781589015067) will include one DVD featuring all of the same audio and video - now in an easier-to-use Flash format.
The text of the new version will not change and the multimedia (although in an improved format) will not change. That means that teachers and students can continue to use both versions of the second edition. Alif Baa with DVDs, Second Edition (ISBN 9781589011021) has been discontinued.
