Superb, well constructed, easy to use, useful and effective learning tools - finding lingualism has been a critical factor in the development of my language skills
Great content and great platform to practice! I like it a lot and can recommend to anyone
The book is excellent! I really like the structure in the form of dialogues, modern, useful vocabulary and the accompanying audio. Personally, I find it very practical.
I own both the eBook and the interactive version. The book is excellently structured and offers a great deal of new material, especially for advanced learners. Topics such as history and geography of Lebanon , and famous Lebanese make learning enjoyable—particularly in the interactive edition, which features integrated audio, exercises, and the ability to save words and sentences.
Thanks to Matthew and his team, I had the great opportunity to try the new interactive edition and I can say it exceeds my expectations by far.
The edition runs on the lingualism learn platform which is well structured and clearly laid out. Like the printed version/ eBook the interactive version also has summary of every chapter, reading comprehension exercises, vocabulary lists, and vocabulary exercises. The real game-changer, however, is the new interactive features such as integrated audio, the ability to toggle translations on and off, and the option to save words and sentences. You can even choose between different fonts for the arabic text.
This exceptionally well-conceived pedagogical approach truly fills a gap in the market for Arabic learning materials.
**A wonderful way to experience Lebanon through language and culture**
*This Is Lebanon — Interactive Edition* is much more than a Lebanese Arabic learning book. What I especially enjoyed is the way it brings the language together with everyday Lebanese life, culture, places, and experiences. It gives the learner the feeling of discovering Lebanon while learning how people actually communicate.
The interactive audio is particularly valuable. Being able to listen while following the material makes a tremendous difference when studying Lebanese Arabic, where pronunciation, rhythm, and natural spoken usage are so important. It also makes the book enjoyable to work through rather than feeling like a traditional textbook.
I also appreciate Lingualism's attention to spoken language. For anyone interested specifically in Lebanese Arabic, having material that focuses on the living dialect rather than treating Arabic only through Modern Standard Arabic is extremely useful.
As someone who has been studying Lebanese Arabic for years, I still found *This Is Lebanon* enjoyable and worthwhile. It works not only as language practice but also as a lovely introduction to Lebanon itself. The combination of Lebanese Arabic, audio, cultural content, and the interactive format makes it a resource I am very happy to have in my collection.
Highly recommended for anyone learning Lebanese Arabic or simply wanting to discover Lebanon through its language and culture.
The story was good and very interesting. It also matched my level in Arabic. The only problem I have is that it was too short.
Great having the interactive edition of the Easy Reader (Lebanese Arabic). It has 58 short texts (for beginner learners) covering various topics (daily routine, home, family, hobbies, work and others).
The text can be displayed with or without the diacritics and you can hide the translation first of all to check your understanding before revealing the English translation.
I found it really useful that you can play the audio one sentence at a time or play the whole audio in one go.
The interactive edition allows you to highlight and save words or phrases from the text. Saved words/phrases can be easily exported into AnkiDroid. Very helpful!
Each section/text also has a few comprehension questions at the end.
I really enjoy using the interactive Edition of Palestinian Arabic Verbs.
It is great how I can concentrate on a particular verb and its conjugations plus sample sentences and practice this verb using the conjugation table, audios, and can study with or without translation, transcription or diacritics.
The interactive Edition also allows you to save a list of verbs and use the practice section with your saved verbs and their verb conjugations which I'm finding really useful as I am building up my vocabulary and learning more verbs and their conjugations.
The practice section is very useful to reinforce your learning, using both Arabic to English, English to Arabic, listening, matching, completing an example and other practice exercises.
Other useful features are: at the bottom of a particular verb and its conjugation table there is a tab giving you other verbs with the same conjugation pattern. Not all of these verbs have the accompanying audio but it is great that so many more verbs are listed with their conjugation tables than are in the original Palestinian Arabic Verbs book. And you can practice these verbs in the practice section as well.
The general grammar guide is also helpful.
I'm really enjoying this interactive edition and it is helping me in my learning. I can definitely recommend it.
Great Tunisian Arabic deck! The vocabulary is well organized, and the cards are clear and easy to study. Definitely recommend it!
My level is not yet C1 or C2 so I would have liked parallel Arabic / English texts
It's a great resource for beginners. The language is simple and there is some degree of repetition that allows you to see the same words and structures in different contexts while the story is still engaging by adhering to the original material. I highly recommend it.
Der Text ist sehr deutlich gesprochen und vor allem die langsame Wiederholung ist sehr hilfreich.
Die Sprache ist klar und besonders die langsame Wiederholung sehr hilfreich. Der Inhalt ist sehr umfangreich.
The best material available on the market to study Egyptian Arabic. The audios are VERY helpful. The texts are so realistic that I understand my Egyptian friends better every day.
The editor was helpful for me to realize the download. The content is much more comprehensive than the free options. If everything were available in German instead of English, it would be perfect.
