Making Out in Arabic is a fun, accessible and thorough Arabic phrase book and guide to the Arabic language as it's really spoken.

Anaa majnuun bihubbik! Hal mumkin an naltaqya marra ukhraa?—(I'm crazy about you! Shall we meet again?) Answer this correctly in Arabic and you may be going on a date. Incorrectly, and you could be hurting someone's feelings or getting a slap! Arabic classes and textbooks tend to spend a lot of time rehearsing for the same fictitious scenarios but chances are while in the Middle East you will spend a lot more time trying to make new friends or start new romances—something you may not be prepared for.

If you are a student, businessman or tourist traveling to the Arab World and would like to have an authentic and meaningful experience, the key is being able to speak like a local. This friendly and easy-to-use Arabic phrasebook makes this possible. Making Out in Arabic has been carefully designed to act as a guide to modern colloquial Arabic for use in everyday informal interactions—giving access to the sort of catchy Arabic expressions that aren't covered in traditional language materials. As well as the Romanized forms, each expression is now given in authentic Arabic script, so that in the case of difficulties the book can be shown to the person the user is trying to communicate with.

This Arabic phrasebook includes :

• A guide to pronouncing Arabic words correctly.
• Explanations of basic Arabic grammar, such as, pronouns questions, and negation.
• Romanized forms of words and phrases.
• Complete Arabic translations including Arabic script.
• Useful and interesting notes on Arabic language and culture.

Reviews

I’m a bit skeptical of these books that present some dialogue between two people in a falafel store and expect you to become fluent somehow. But as far as they are useful this is a good product. Little to no Arabic script it provided but if you are familiar with the dialect you will know this isn’t hugely useful unless they go to the trouble of transliterating spoken Levantine language. Certainly wouldn’t be useful for them to provide the standard Arabic used in newspapers etc. I think it’s a good resource to use for reference/expansion as long as you are doing spoken practice. Seems to fill a gap in the market; I’d use it along with the Lingualism books for more thorough gramatical reference/verb tables and so on. I’d just note that unlike some other books in the series, it seems to be well proofread and converted.
