This is the book I wish I had when I first went to live in Egypt. I had a decent grasp of colloquial grammar and could form basic sentences. I knew “lots of words”… or so I thought. But I often found myself unable to express what I needed or to understand what people were saying to me. I worried that my awkward exchanges came off as rude simply because I didn’t know the right things to say at the right times.

These two course books are excellent practice for colloquial Arabic. You will already need to have studied an Arabic dialect as the course doesn't explain colloquial Arabic grammar and verb conjugations. But if you already know the basics of colloquial Arabic grammar, this course gives excellent practice in everyday dialogues. Can't wait to see similar books for other Arabic dialects such as Iraqi or Saudi Arabic.
Great!
I really appreciate so much that finally I can learn arabic dialects - I've studied arabic language, but it was so challenging because I studied MSA at University (which means : sophisticated language and instruction that ignores everyday skills and basics). It was really hard, I learned translating somehow but I never learned speaking. I also spent time in Egypt for learning dialect, but this didn’t help in the long run - classroom learning is usually very limited in time and you can not listen repeatedly or listen and read - which I need for remembering. So finally the materials from lingualism are really handy and extremely helpful. For me they are so useful because I can really learn at my pace and with methods corresponding to my learning style. In my eyes they are a game-changer.
As for the "situational arabic" books, I really appreciate that there are several dialogues covering the same everyday situations so that You get different expressions. Matthewreally did a great job here, going much deeper than usual language learning books. Ans also the cultural explanations or explanations for certain expressions. I finally enjoy learning arabic and feel that I make progress. It actally is fun learning.
I have purchased many of lingualisms materials. Honestly, they are easily the best purchases I have made in my Arabic learning journey. The audio is high quality and easy to use. I currently live in Egypt and can say that this book has been very useful in understanding Arabic the way it is actually spoken in the streets/in public. I have found what works for me: I love to memorize phrases and then reuse them with other things I have learned to more freely express myself. The book(s) release timing was perfect. Don't give up in trying to learn this language. Its well worth the journey.
Love it ! :) - Every chapter has nice illustrations. There are a few short dialogues and an extended dialogue to each chapter. The audios are really clear and fun to listen to. It is very practical. The dialogues are really fun and you can imagine you are there participating in the conversation ! :) - Fantastic ! :)
