The book is designed to assist beginning learners of the A1 level of Egyptian Arabic. It contains 250 sentences and phrases, each numbered for easy reference. The first are short and gradually get longer.

The sentences are written in Arabic script with diacritics.

Phonemic transcription is provided on the next line for those who need additional assistance in reading Arabic script.

An English translation is also provided for each sentence.

The corresponding track number and time stamp are provided for each sentence, allowing you to easily match the audio with the text.

The sentences in this book are randomly selected and do not cover all vocabulary for the A1 level, but the repetition of similar structures and vocabulary is intentional to aid in fluency and vocabulary building.

Random Egyptian Arabic is not just a book to read and listen to, but also a tool to actively practice and improve your language skills. As you work through the sentences, try making variations by changing the persons, places, and objects in each sentence. Practice making negative sentences and try to adapt them to be true for yourself. This book is designed to be interactive and to be used in a way that works best for you. So don’t be afraid to experiment and make the sentences your own. The more you practice, the more you’ll find your fluency and vocabulary growing.
