Rapid progress FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description WHAT MAKES ARABIC EXPRESS UNIQUE?Arabic Express: A Complete Course in Spoken & Written Arabic does away with the myth, widely believed by students, that Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), which is primarily written Arabic, enables you to speak with ordinary people in the street. This book does the pioneering work of presenting, contextually, a comprehensive grammar of spoken Arabic, the Arabic used in everyday oral communication between Arabs. Modern Standard Arabic, which is the version reserved for reading and writing, receives an equally thorough treatment in parallel to the spoken. You are then in a perfect position to compare, contrast and use each in its correct setting, for its exact purpose. This book is the first to present spoken Arabic and its grammar, with the great facilitation of the Roman script, in a comprehensive, systematic and coherent manner, alongside Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), which is presented in the book in Arabic script (MSA being not spoken in everyday life and reserved for literature and the media). All units contain listening-speaking activities for language practice, pronunciation and language modelling purposes. The books material has produced literate students and native-like speakers of Arabic, which can be attested by the directors at UNSW Institute of languages, where the author has been teaching for over a decade. The book has been addressing the language needs of Anglo-Australians, as well as those of descendents of the Arab diaspora. Lebanese is an advantageous Levantine dialect to learn in the English-speaking world, because it is one of those better understood in the Arabic speaking world, thanks to film, song and dubbed foreign series diffusion. The book has been an academic and linguistic labour of love, feedback, adjustment and fine tuning in the classroom over the last few years. Its learner-friendly style shapes its versatility, making it ideal for use by independent learners, in high school, and in a university classroom. If you want a complete Arabic course, enabling you to read, write and speak like a native speaker, then this is the book for you.

Review Simon Schubert, Senior Specialist Teacher / Coordinator, University of New South Wales - Institute of Languages. Here at the University of New South Wales Institute of languages, we eagerly awaited the publishing of Arabic Express for our students to get a full experience of the complete book. Having observed how meticulously it has been put together over the last few years, with love, dedication, classroom application and student feedback; from what I have personally examined of it; and from noting how valuable it has been to our students, I have no doubt that it will be a major asset to any learner or educational institution that adopts it. Zafar Al-Talib, language student, UNSW - Institute of Languages. Ive found "ARABIC EXPRESS" to be a tremendously practical and easy to use Arabic language method. Over the last couple of years of learning through it, Ive felt a gradual build up in my confidence and ability to converse with people and to even fill in forms and keep a journal. Im also excited that Im managing to make out the main ideas in newspaper articles. What Ive appreciated most about it is the light and fun way in which the language is presented. This, I think, has made it so much easier for me to learn and retain. With the indexes and smooth navigability to a comprehensive coverage of spoken and written Arabic, it has given me firm foundations to stand on and a precious reference source hereafter. Im so grateful! Ben Maloney, language student, UNSW - Institute of Languages. After learning the basics of Modern Standard Arabic elsewhere previously, Arabic Express opened me up to understand and speak the Levantine Arabic dialect. Ive found that learning standard and spoken Arabic at the same time, as presented in this book, allowed me to learn more efficiently with the leverage of comparison. And the phonetic use of the Roman script is particularly helpful, making it that much clearer and easier for me to get my pronunciation right.
