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.
