www.macmillanaudio.com AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

This transcript is represented in phonetic Arabic, rather than traditional Arabic characters. Since Arabic does not have a standard phonetic system for westernizing Arabic characters, Arabic speakers use various phonetic systems for writing Arabic. These systems simplify this complex language, making it more readily accessible to English speakers. The Behind the Wheel Arabic audio program has been transcribed using one of these basic phonetic systems.
