So, you’ve reached an intermediate level in Egyptian Arabic. You’re decent at conjugating verbs, you have a pretty impressive vocabulary… but you still don’t sound, well, like an Egyptian. What’s missing is that you’re still not comfortable with idiomatic expressions used in everyday communication by native speakers. Talk Like an Egyptian will help you sound more natural and use appropriate language by taking a closer look at language in context. Get ready to impress!
The book is divided into six sections, each with a different theme, including ‘Addressing People,’ ‘Idioms with God,’ ‘Idioms with Numbers,’ among others.
Each section consists of dozens of segments focusing on high-frequency idiomatic expressions and essential words used by Egyptians in everyday language.
In the segments, you will find:
- detailed explanations of the literal and actual meanings, tips on proper usage, background information, and cultural notes
- short dialogues that show the target language being used in context
- translations of the dialogues
- bonus information and footnotes (in gray boxes)
- references to the corresponding audio tracks
