The language of the media in Egypt is Modern Standard Arabic. However, while news is published in MSA, Egyptians still discuss current events in their own dialect—Egyptian Arabic—and that is where this book comes in. The News in Egyptian Arabic exposes learners to a wide range of contemporary topics, expanding vocabulary beyond everyday conversation and helping you discuss news intelligently and naturally in spoken Arabic.
Each Unit Includes
- The main text (without tashkeel).
- Key words with a translation matching exercise.
- The article (with tashkeel).
- Comprehension questions.
- Discussion questions.
- Expressions and structures (a multiple-choice exercise).
- Answer key (with an English translation of the article and a phonemic transcription).
- Lined notes page at the end of each unit.
The materials are suitable for both independent learners and students working with a teacher. Each article is presented in multiple formats to help you meet your learning goals—whether that’s improving comprehension, building vocabulary, or speaking more confidently about current affairs in Egyptian Arabic.

I've just purchased The News in Modern Standard Arabic and The News in Egyptian Arabic much earlier in PDF format, and I'm kind of disappointed that the PDF versions of these two E-books aren't searchable in Arabic, and the characters are broken or aren't stuck together while searching the PDF.
Please set a standard for your E-books, such as "Arabic Learner's Dictionary," and consider fixing the problem.
Warm regards
Great!
There is an uncomfortable place in learning Arabic, where you have surpassed the "beginners" stuff like reading, albeit slowly, but are not quite ready yet to understand the news on TV. If you are like me, you´ve also had enough of reading religious texts, or children's stories.
If so, this book is filling the gap and will be exactly what you will be needing. I've been waiting for this book! Given all the explanations and audio, and exercises, I couldn't be happier than with this book. Arrived in no time, and I haven't been so excited to study in a long time. In fact, you don't have the feeling you are studying, but reading the news, and that's all language learning should be: Fun.
Unfortunately for me, it is Egyptian Arabic, I would loved to get MSA News - but the audio can be downloaded in MSA, so that is really helpful as well..
Thank you for this book.
Update June 2021:
I am now nearly through with the whole book - one story a week was my goal. My satisfaction has only grown working through the book. The stories are interesting and diverse, from insect populations over the "Corona Burger" to living trends. The book is now scribbled full with my notes, and still in good condition, no loose leaves or ripped cover, so very good quality. The exercises in the book are short and helpful, like going through vocabulary before going in a story, and interesting questions to discuss and talk about. I only wish parts of the book would be colorful. Otherwise, I couldn´t be happier.
An excellent book I've just purchased. I really enjoy the recordings.
This book is just excellent even though i have not started yet. I have glanced through the contents and i can say that this book deserves a well praise. There is no other teacher other than Ahmed who teaches Egyptian dialect regularly and consistently. It is well recommended for those who are bored of going through the pain of reading MSA which is too difficult because of it's complexity. Thanks a lot for this book.
Prashant.
