 Essential for Learners of Egyptian Arabic April 7, 2008

I have all but worn this book out. While it's dictionary isn't exhaustive by any means, it has an ample amount of key words. And the phrase book section is excellent, even when talking to speakers of other dialects such as Gulf Arabic. Finally, the brief but complete section on grammar in the front of the book is fantastic. This book is with me at all times!

I ordered this book 2 years ago just before going to visit my in-laws. My Arabic is still not to the point where I can hold a decent conversation, but thankfully some of the family spoke English. This book definitely helped when we were all at a loss for words because it contains both the transliteration and the Arabic script. Even if you're not familiar with the sounds of the Arabic letters, you can always just show someone the book and they can read it and perfectly understand what you're trying to say.
I really love this book and recommend it to all my friends who are traveling to Egypt.
Easy way to learn beginning Arabic July 10, 2007
I love this book! For those who are more visually oriented than phonetically inclined, this is a life saver. Makes Arabic easy and fun.

This is a very well thought out and nicely organized book. Any student of Egyptian Arabic will like this phrasebook, and the illustrations inside of the book offer casual entertainment while the reader continues to learn Egyptian Arabic. I admit that I was disappointed to read that the author started to include sexual words and phrases, then backed out of doing it. It really would have been a lot of fun to learn how to say some of those things that were deleted from the final text.
