This book is for beginners who can (slowly) read the Arabic script without understanding much of it, and who have minimal knowledge of grammar and vocabulary. Its unique method combines M.S.A. with Levantine Arabic to teach Arabic the way Arabs use their language: understand written and spoken M.S.A. from the media, but speak and understand colloquial Arabic on a daily basis. Learn useful daily expressions in Levantine Arabic, and understand basic grammar in both MSA and Levantine Arabic. Plenty of practical exercises are provided after each section covering all skills: listening and reading comprehension, as well as writing, and speaking. At the end of this book, you achieve level A1 of the CEFR scale for languages.
