Arabic Stories for Language Learners--a language learning experience for beginner to intermediate students of the Arabic language.

The traditional stories of a country are invaluable at providing insight into understanding the culture, history and language of a people. A great way to learn Arabic, the sixty-six stories found in Arabic Stories for Language Learners present the vocabulary and grammar used everyday in Arabic-speaking countries. Pulled from a wide variety of sources that have been edited and simplified for learning purposes, these stories are presented in parallel Arabic and English, facilitating language learning in the classroom and via self-study. Each story is followed by a series of questions in Arabic and English to test comprehension and encourage discussion.

Arabic Stories for Language Learners brings Arab culture to life in a colorful and immediate way. Regardless of whether or not you have a working knowledge of Arabic, this book gives readers a tantalizing introduction to the wisdom and humor of these ancient desert-dwelling peoples.

The audio CD helps students of Arabic improve their pronunciation and inflection, and immerses non-students into the uniquely Arabic storytelling style.

B. Sbaiti

A Useful Literary and Cultural Book for the Student of Intermediate Arabic

15 August 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I bought this book as soon as I saw it, as I have wanted this sort of aid for a long time. I lived in the Middle East for fifteen years, in a mostly English-speaking environment, and picked up a lot of conversational Arabic, which differs somewhat from the written form. The language used in the book is challenging to me, though I can get through stories with help from my Arabic-speaking husband. It would be nice--for the novice--to have had the short vowels included, though it is useful to read the language as it usually appears in print. An audio disk is included with the book.

A beautiful book. Completely fulfilled my expectations

A beautiful book. Completely fulfilled my expectations. Was at my level (I had completed Al Kitaab Vol I (Brustad et al.). The problem was in the peripherals. The write-up on Amazon did not reveal that the audio was in MP3 format. Nothing in my house would support the MP3 CD, so had to expend more money to deal with that problem. Once done, the audio was clear. On the back of the book it states "Auxiliary phrases and discussion questions for each tale can be found...at...www.tuttlepublishing.com." Where? I contacted the "Contact Us" option but have still not been advised how to access same.

Go-to Arabic literature book for immediate and above language learners

7 June 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Although I am not finished with the book, I must say that I am impressed with the book thus far and the stories to come. I have found several stories to be quite hysterical! As an Arabic language learner, it helps immensely to have the audio available along with stories. The stories are easy to read and follow along. Apart from the audio, the large print, spacing, and English translation all make this book a masterpiece to add to a collection of Arabic literature for language learners. The vocabulary is not too challenging. If you've been studying Arabic for at least two years or more (intermediate level at least) then this is your go-to book for Arabic literature. It is a great starting place. I am curious to know if similar material with audio is available from the authors.

Great for teaching by a teacher. Not a self sufficient learning tool for students.

15 February 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Great condition. Arrival on time. The book is useful for Arabic learners - it would have been better if the diacritics were also provided. Translations are decent. The fun of reading so many different stories itself justifies the purchase. I have not used the CD so far, but I assume they will read the stories on there and the matter of pronounciation will be addressed by way of that. I didn't feel this is for beginning Arabic students, more like intermediate. I will be using it to teach some students while trying to make the learning fun. I imagine they would be lost without a teacher - to help them unpack the morphology and grammar. In other words, it's a very useful teaching aid but not self sufficient.
