The complete series of innovative new coursebooks in Egyptian colloquial Arabic

Drawing on her years of experience as an Arabic instructor and course developer, Samia Louis has used a functional approach to create a bright, innovative set of coursebooks for the study of Egyptian colloquial Arabic—the spoken dialect most frequently studied and most widely understood in the Arab worldNow three new books, for beginner, early advanced, and higher advanced students, have been added to the series. Designed according to the ACTFL guidelines for teaching Arabic as a foreign language, each book of Kallimni ‘Arabi trains students through highly structured lessons in the crucial skills, with particular emphasis on listening and speaking, using real-life situations and expressions.

The associated audio files, both available online and as a CD, carry recordings of the dialogs and exercises in each chapter, made by Egyptian native speakers.

“The books in the [Kallimni ‘Arabi] series altogether present the best Arabic textbooks available . . miles ahead of most others.”—David Wilmsen, American University of Beirut
