Product Details
The stories in Mido: In Tunisian Arabic are lighthearted and easy to follow yet engaging, presenting the lively language and culture of Tunisians today. Although entertaining, these stories are intended for adult language learners rather than children, as themes such as secrets, lies, and crime occasionally appear.

The first chapter introduces Mido and his family through a glimpse into a typical morning at home. Midoโs father, mother, brother, and sister each feature in a chapter showing a day in their lives, while Mido himself stars in the remaining chapters.

Customer Reviews
If you're looking to learn the Tunisian dialect you probably already know how hard it is to find learning materials for English speakers. This book is solid, I love that it includes both Arabic and English so you can practice reading and fully understand what you're reading. And the audio track helps with reading and pronunciation as well.
All the stories are very relevant and realistic. This content will definitely help learners get Tunisian accent and understanding of Tunisian culture.
I've found this book to be a wonderful resource for learning Tunisian Arabic in a fun and interesting way. It's especially appreciated since finding resources for Tunisian Arabic can be difficult. The stories are interesting, and I don't get tired of repeatedly listening to them in order to improve my comprehension.
going try try it in paperback, i like stories more than vocabulary lists as they are more interesting to listen to, hoping to pick up some grammar and vocabulary through listening to the stories
This book is a wonderful resource because of the word-for-word English translations and the free audio. I would recommend you start with the Tunisian vocabulary book of the same series as Mido is (in my opinion) not a book for beginners. I've listened to this audio with Tunisian friends and they agreed it was a good resource. Wholeheartedly recommended!
