Each lesson begins with short listening passages that introduce the key words and concepts. Unlike older-style books, there's no expectation that students will memorize the dialogues; rather, the focus is simply to identify the key words. Subsequent exercises reinforce the key words, both through reading and listening. The variety of exercises makes working through the material actually fun. (When does one expect to hear that, with an Arabic textbook?! Examples, so far, include matching cities to countries, a word find, filling in missing numbers or letters, circling the correct word from a pair, identifying which letter was pronounced ... there are lots of different approaches to teaching aural discrimination and reading fluency. After five lessons, both my language tutor and I paused at the end of class, to say how much we're enjoying this textbook.Upon recommendation from others, I purchased Alif Baa, along with Living Arabic. My tutor observed that Alif Baa is a good book for those without any knowledge of the alphabet. But if you've had slightest prior exposure to the letters, it's easy to jump straight into Living Arabic. My Alif Baa has sat on the shelf untouched. Living Arabic covered the alphabet and sounds effectively in a few pages at the start.For reference -- I'm going through the book with a Jordanian tutor. However, the Living Arabic text is designed to make the most of limited time with a native speaker. Both the CD and DVD are excellent, with clear voices. They're wholly integrated with the text and an essential part of all the exercises. I'm VERY glad I picked this text! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is a good book...one of the better ones out there.. *by B***I on Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2009* I think this book is relatively easy to use because it's based on themes. Dr. Younes also repeats a lot of the vocabulary that you use through out the small chapters. You should have a native speaker if you are using this book, someone who speaks 'amiyat bilad a sham. Essentially, if you have a decent speaker of Lebanese, Syrian, or Palestinian Arabic who also has a decent enough grounding in Modern Standard Arabic then you will do well with this book. I like the cover of this book. I also think it teaches you a lot of practical Arabic that one can use. It also doesn't bog you down with tons of grammar like Mahdi Alosh's book.I like Alosh's book in many ways, because he, like Younes, builds on your knowledge of vocabulary. Al Kitab is a nice book in some ways, but it is too hard since the vocabulary in the various chapters don't really tie to each other, and it's not simple to build practical conversational ability with that book. Unless you have hours and hours of instruction per week (a minimum of 5) I think Al Kitab would be hard to learn from properly and used by a professor, but Living Arabic would be easier to use. It's not so challenging to use. I hope I have been fair. The author of this text is very consientious instructor who cares profoundly about the language and students and values colloquial Arabic and getting people to feel confident in speaking Arabic. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A real game changer when it comes to spoken Arabic *by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2016* Great book....so glad I found it. I've tried manyArabic books, in fact like many of you I have shelves of them. This the best by far that I've found for learning a dialect, this one is Levantine. I already had a good background in Fusha when I bought it, I started backwards to some by learning grammar first and now dialects. In my opinion it teaches you a lot quickly, take your time and do all the excercises and you will actually learn to Speak Arabic. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/13470675-living-arabic-a-comprehensive-introductory-course-1st-edition](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/13470675-living-arabic-a-comprehensive-introductory-course-1st-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
