Egyptian Arabic: Easy Stories With English Translations (1)

EGYPTIAN ARABIC: Easy Stories With English Translations is a fun yet challenging collection of simple, short stories aimed at both young and adult learners of the spoken language of Egypt. Designed with high-beginners to low-intermediate learners in mind, this book will improve your comprehension and build on your vocabulary as you progress through each carefully crafted mini story. One of the issues that many Arabic students of spoken dialects face is that most written material is in Modern Standard Arabic or Classical Arabic (formal dialect).

There is very little available for learners who have moved beyond the basics and are looking for literary resources at an appropriate reading level in colloquial, spoken language.

So we've carefully crafted a series of 12 short/mini stories that progressively increase in length and difficulty which we're sure you'll enjoy and benefit from.
