Arabic Stories for Language Learners

Great book.thank you team Amazon.

Expected vocabulary in english for words in stories and also similar to as given in korian stories by julie damron Eunsun You

Veru useful for extending your Arabic vocabulary.

Excellent book for learners. It also helps that the stories are available in YouTube to read along.

I bought this book for myself as I am taking Arabic lessons but wanted some extra help for reading outside class. The book is set out like a classic bilingual book, with the Arabic text on the left-hand page and the English translation on the right. The translation is fairly literal which is a great help when comparing vocabulary and structures. The stories range from half a page to several pages, and are very varied in terms of language level and vocabulary. The only downsides to this book are that there are very few written short vowels, but the audio CD included makes up for this; and the fact that the stories are not numbered - I had to write numbers in to match the stories with the audio track. These are very minor issues, however, and I would highly recommend this book for language learners! This book would also be suitable for children.

Leute die Arabisch lernen wie ich, ist das Buch sehr hilfreich. Auf der linken Seite steht das Englische und auf der rechten das arabische aber auf Druckschrift.

This book is the most helpful I have ever encountered to gain fluency in Arabic reading and listening comprehension. The CD is the absolute best because the producers were smart enough to have the readers speak clearly and slowly enough for an intermediate learner to understand. The CD is professional quality with excellent readers and no background noise to interfere. Play it every day and you will soon be thinking in Arabic. Plus the stories are interesting, often with a profound message from the ancient Arab world. In addition, the written text is clear and large. The Islamic art dispersed throughout the book is a bonus. The vocabulary involves words that are commonly used in everyday language, which is a great advantage. If you started learning Arabic using the famous Modern Standard orange books from the University of Michigan, you will appreciate Arabic Stories for its lack of technical language and complications of sophisticated texts which are too specialized for use in normal conversation. This delightful book uses vocabulary that is practical and much of it is repeated in various ways to allow you to really learn it. With Arabic's vast vocabulary, it is so nice to have an entertaining book that selects verbs and nouns that can be used in conversation with native speakers. The selection of stories goes far in helping Western students appreciate traditional cultural values of Arabs. If you have invested time in learning Arabic to the intermediate level (to the point where you can fill in most short vowels by your knowledge of Arabic Grammar), you must get this book. It will take you closer to the easy facility with Arabic that you always wanted. And the price is modest. Buy it! You won't regret it.
