Overview

Making Out in Arabic is a fun, accessible and thorough Arabic phrase book and guide to the Arabic language as it's really spoken.

Anaa majnuun bihubbik! Hal mumkin an naltaqya marra ukhraa?--(I'm crazy about you! Shall we meet again?) Answer this correctly in Arabic and you may be going on a date. Incorrectly, and you could be hurting someone's feelings or getting a slap! Arabic classes and textbooks tend to spend a lot of time rehearsing for the same fictitious scenarios but chances are while in the Middle East you will spend a lot more time trying to make new friends or start new romances--something you may not be prepared for.

If you are a student, businessman or tourist traveling to the Arab World and would like to have an authentic and meaningful experience, the key is being able to speak like a local. This friendly and easy-to-use Arabic phrasebook makes this possible. Making Out in Arabic has been carefully designed to act as a guide to modern colloquial Arabic for use in everyday informal interactions--giving access to the sort of catchy Arabic expressions that aren't covered in traditional language materials. As well as the Romanized forms, each expression is now given in authentic Arabic script, so that in the case of difficulties the book can be shown to the person the user is trying to communicate with.

  • A guide to pronouncing Arabic words correctly.
  • Explanations of basic Arabic grammar, such as, pronouns questions, and negation.
  • Romanized forms of words and phrases.
  • Complete Arabic translations including Arabic script.
  • Useful and interesting notes on Arabic language and culture.
  • Lots of colorful, fun and useful expressions not covered in other phrasebooks.
