Vocab from Dr Moin Halloun's course at Bethlehem University, taken sequentially from his excellent textbook: Spoken Arabic For Foreigners, An Introduction to the Palestinian Dialect, Volume 1
NOTE: Dr. Halloun's text uses latin alphabet transcriptions for arabic terms, here I am using a slighty different transcription system that has become very popular online, the so-called Arabic Chat Alphabet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_chat_alphabet.
