Tounsi in Black and White
By Paul R. Beeman & Khaled Arres
A visual dictionary designed for learners of Tunisian Derja. This unique language resource simplifies the learning process by presenting over 860 essential words and phrases through simple black and white illustrations and clear Latin script, making it accessible for English-speaking learners.
Tunisian Derja is an oral language blending Arabic, Berber, Turkish, Italian, and French thus reflecting Tunisia’s rich cultural heritage. While it shares commonalities with standard Arabic, its distinct pronunciation and vocabulary have set it apart. The authors of TOUNSI in BLACK and WHITE have worked long and hard to capture this language with images and latin script so that others may learn it easier.
Key Features
• Over 860 essential words and phrases, carefully curated for daily communication.
• Latin script to simplify learning for those unfamiliar with Arabic writing.
• A phonetic chart to guide pronunciation, consistent with Tunisian street signs.
• Duotone images that visually connect language to meaning.
While TOUNSI in BLACK and WHITE serves as a valuable reference, it is not a curriculum. Oral languages like Tounsi require lessons and coaching from a qualified language teacher or school.
Unlock the heart of Tunisia through its language—dedicate yourself to learning, and discover the richness of its culture with TOUNSI in BLACK and WHITE.
