"The fact that this dictionary is in romanized Arabic is a positive aspect for beginning learners of the language. ...

On another positive side... there are many useful examples of how entries are used in REAL sentences. This is very useful to the learner, and helpful in expanding one's vocabulary and general idiomatic knowledge.

Unfortunately, this dictionary has a couple of major problems.... The first thing is, in the English to Arabic portion, it gives the "third person singular form of the perfect verb", which seems to be standard, but I think for the learner's sake, the third person singular of the IMPERFECT form of the verb should also be there. It does not appear to be the case in this dictionary. One needs BOTH forms to be able to conjugate verb forms in both of the Arabic "tenses".

Secondly, the Arabic to English part of this dictionary appears to be a version of some very old dictionary that has been "resurrected". Instead of doing whole words with their attendant vowels, only consonants are given..."

Dictionary of Iraqi Arabic (English-Arabic)




Designed for an English speaker learning Arabic, this is a key reference for anyone learning the colloquial speech of Iraq as spoken by educated people in Baghdad. Using romanized transliteration and transcription rather than the Arabic alphabet, it is further enhanced in most cases by having sentences to illustrate how individual word entries are used in context, reinforcing the user's acquisition of colloquial Iraqi.
