Conversational Arabic Quick and Easy: Emirati Dialect, Gulf Arabic of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, UAE Arabic, and the United Arab Emirates

This book is awesome. Very very easy to learn with this method.Is great for travelers and also if you want to learn another language.I have my trip to Dubai this upcoming November and I can't wait to interact with people there and test how much i learn.I highly recommend it.I bought a few others since the method works great for me.

Already have my plane tickets to the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain and bought both books from Nitzany for my travel. I love this Emirati book and I will be purchasing its audio version next. Very interesting concept to learn gulf dialect. Combination of words and sentences makes it easier for anyone who reads this book to learn quickly.

Beneficial for travelers and those who want to learn the dialect of the United Arab Emirates.

I liked how easy it was to understand and follow. I feel that I now have a better grasp of the language.

Great book!!! Very well thought out.

Exceptionally well written, extremely articulateMakes you understand the Arabic of Dubai. Wish I can give 6 stars.

Omg, I love this book! It's very organized and easy to follow.

The cover is the Burj Arab, he should have placed the Burj Kalifa on the cover instead. I did not have any family in UAE so the book was not that inviting. I did not come across the word for a Mosque in the book, So I was not able to ask "Where is the Mosque?' when I was lost. Also Arabic Script is not included in the book nor does the book come with a CD. There were some typographical errors in the transliteration. Definitely, visit Dubai and use English.

The author claims to have discovered a revolutionary system for learning languages. Maybe he has, but it does not seem to me that it is working.He spends 10 pages about himself and his method, and only 29 pages on actual language learning (this should be called a leaflet, not a book).I picked this up as it was difficult to find books focusing on spoken Emirati Arabic, but there are other books that do this much better that this one. Firstly, some of the phrases that he translates seems to be very odd. On the first two pages and among the first 10 sentences you should learn, you learn how to say "Sometimes I am with him" and "If it was between now and later". I find it difficult to imagine when I would use these sentences when you have not yet learnt the basics.Secondly, the authors focus on a generic system may work for some languages, but it seems that he is not flexible enough to adapt his system to Arabic. For example, verb conjugation does not take into account that Arabic uses different forms of you (singular) for male and female.As a summary, this book was a wasted purchase for me.

Really good- I’m an Arabic teacher, this is a fantastic resource in a poorly resourced area. Thank you so much!
