The stories in Mido: In Modern Standard Arabic are light-hearted and easy to follow, but also engaging, all the while providing excellent reading practice in Modern Standard Arabic for students who are perhaps not ready to tackle Arabic literature.

The first chapter serves as an introduction to Mido and his family, as we take a peak at the household’s typical morning. Mido’s father, mother, brother, and sister each feature in a chapter showing a day in their lives. And Mido, our hero, stars in the remaining chapters.

The Arabic texts appear on even-numbered pages, while the English translations can be found on the following odd-numbered pages along with cultural and language notes, as well as photographs.

Dozens of beautiful illustrations can be found throughout the book to help the reader better understand the texts. Professionally recorded audio is available to stream or download free of charge.

    This book is what’s needed for learners in their struggles to move to the Intermediate level. While there are intermediate level readings to be found, these are still a big jump for the advanced beginner. I am on a journey with Mido, and the presence of vowels, transcript and audio is invaluable. Thanks Matthew for your great resources for learners of MSA. شكرًا جزيلًا

    I will also purchase this series in different dialects and it will be beneficial to compare them

    I’ve got the MSA, Lebanese, Egyptian and Tunisian versions and absolutely love them. It’s a great way to get used to the different version of spoken Arabic. It is difficult to find learning material for the different varieties of Arabic other than MSA and Egyptian so thanks to the Lingualism team for the initiative. I hope one day there will be an Iraqi or Emirati version or, who knows, a Persian version. I would buy them immediately!
