A Slim Arabic Book You Will Actually Carry
Share
Language learning happens away from the desk
The phrase you need arrives at a lunch, in a taxi, at a family gathering — never at the moment you set aside for studying. A book that lives on a shelf misses every one of those.
Learn Arabic For Your Habibi is a slim A4 paperback of forty pages, light enough to go in a bag and stay there.
Made to be used, not preserved
- Write in it. Mark the phrases you keep needing, cross out the ones you have got.
- Open it in public. A book at a table reads as interest. A phone reads as distraction.
- Find things fast. Nineteen short sections, each covering one situation — greetings, family, food, the restaurant, travel, shopping, directions and the rest.
Readable at a glance, which matters when you are standing up
Everything is in clear, consistent transliteration with a pronunciation guide at the front, so you can take a line off the page and say it without decoding anything. Replies are printed alongside phrases, and every line is marked (m) and (f), so a quick look gives you the whole exchange in the correct form.
No grammar drills, no script required, nothing to set up.
The specifics
Forty pages of everyday spoken Levantine Arabic — the language of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine, and of Dubai's Arab community. Written by Daria Okhrimenko for complete beginners. AED 169, free delivery anywhere in the UAE in two to four days.
