“The refreshing news for frustrated instructors and students is that Bassam K. Frangieh’s Arabic for Life: a Textbook for Beginning Arabic is an excellent Arabic language textbook that also provides a cultural journey of the Middle East through beautiful and rich Arabic texts....The book is bright, easy to read and fun. The color pictures add a sense of place that enriches the overall learning experience. The DVD is organized consistently with the lessons in the textbook, and its audio/video recordings, exercises and activities help build vocabulary—but equally important it is so alive and fun to watch!...The publication of this book is very timely for beginning students in standard modern Arabic, but intermediate students will also benefit....It is impossible not to admire this serious, comprehensive and beautiful work presented by Frangieh. This book is a must for every student who wants to learn Arabic.”—Suheir Abu Oksa Daoud, Coastal Carolina University, Middle East Online -- Suheir Abu Oksa Daoud * Middle East Online *
