Arabic Express

Here at the University of New South Wales Institute of languages, we have been eagerly awaiting 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. I've 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, I've felt a gradual build up in my confidence and ability to converse with people and to even fill in forms and keep a journal. I'm also excited that I'm managing to make out the main ideas in newspaper articles. What I've 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. I'm 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. I've 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.
