Designed to bring learners of Arabic from a lower to a higher intermediate level of language proficiency
The book is a continuation of the first level books in this series (either 'Arabiyyat al-Naas fii Bilaad al-Shaam or 'Arabiyaat al-Naas fii maSr)
Develops spoken Arabic through authentic dialogue
Improves your reading comprehension skills
The new and improved edition of Arabiyyat al-Naas, Part II provides a welcome addition to the field of Arabic language instruction. The inclusion of both spoken Levantine and Egyptian dialects - complemented by readings in Modern Standard Arabic, helps to widen the appeal of this new edition and mirrors the way students are likely to encounter the language being used outside the classroom. With the characteristic wit and humor that we have come to expect from this team, the book explores aspects of modern life and guides students through a variety of themes designed to bring Arabic language learning into the 21st century! Students should particularly enjoy learning the secrets of making superb hummus and using the songs in the book to help them remember vocabulary and improve pronunciation.
Nancy Coffin, Senior Lecturer, Director of the Arabic Program, Princeton University, USA
Munther Younes and his team have done it again! Arabiyyat al-Naas Part II is a leap forward in presenting the real-life language and culture of the heart of the Arab world in an integrated way. The story line is rich and engaging and there is plentiful comprehensible input to assist students in developing proficiency in listening, reading, speaking and writing.
Kirk Belnap, Professor, Asian and Near Eastern Languages, Bingham Young University, USA
Congratulations to the 'Arabiyyat al-Naas team for producing this cutting-edge intermediate textbook using the Integrated Approach to the teaching and learning of Arabic.
