Arabiyyat al-Naas fii MaSr (Part One) by Munther Younes

Arabiyyat al-Naas fii MaSr (Part One) offers a ground-breaking introduction to Arabic as it is written and spoken by native speakers.

"Arabiyyat al-Naas fii MaSr is an added value to the field of teaching Arabic as a foreign languageIt provides language learners with a functional language in its cultural context. Compared to other textbooks, the listening, reading, grammar and the drills, in this textbook, are well designed and will bring students to the intermediate low level as it intends. This book stands beyond many Arabic textbooks which are used internationally." Abdellah Chekayri, Assosciate Professor in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Al Akhawayn University, Morocco

"It is very important to me to be able to integrate both fusha and colloquial into the classroom. At the same time, I often feel that a large part of my role in teaching first year Arabic lies in helping to humanize Arabic speakers for my non-Arab, non-Muslim students, and this book does an excellent job of presenting a sympathetic approach to the Arab world. In addition, teaching in colloquial – because of the natural warmth and spontaneity of the language – may just help to make learning Arabic a bit less intimidating for our first year students. Because so many of our language teachers are most comfortable with the Egyptian dialect, I think that an Egyptian version of Arabiyyat al-Naas will be a fabulous addition to our teaching toolkit." Nancy A. Coffin, Senior Lecturer and Director of the Arabic Program at Princeton University, United States of America
