Daria Okhrimenko

Daria Okhrimenko is the author of Learn Arabic For Your Habibi, a 40-page spoken Levantine Arabic phrasebook for complete beginners.

She has lived in Dubai for seven years, where she built her businesses and works as a real estate investor. Learning the language of the people around her changed how she experienced the city, and it is why she wrote the book.

What Daria Okhrimenko writes about

Spoken Levantine Arabic — the everyday Arabic of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine, and the Arabic most widely heard across Dubai's Arab community. Her work is aimed at complete beginners who want to hold a conversation rather than pass an exam, which is why the book teaches whole phrases with their replies, marks every line for who is speaking, and leaves the Arabic alphabet until the end.

The book

Learn Arabic For Your Habibi is an A5 paperback of 40 pages covering nineteen sections of everyday conversation. It assumes no previous Arabic. Free delivery anywhere in the UAE in 5 to 7 business days.
