Kamaan Shuwayya ‘An Nafsi is a survey-based eBook for developing deeper conversational skills in Egyptian Arabic.

Designed for intermediate learners who want to move beyond basic self-description, this eBook helps you engage in richer and more natural conversations in Egyptian Arabic. Each section is built around a discussion prompt followed by multiple authentic responses from native speakers, allowing you to observe how meaning is expressed through complete phrases rather than isolated words. Compared to the first volume, this book places greater emphasis on reading Arabic script directly and using language creatively in conversation.
