L'Arabo

Arabic course for Italian speakers

Arabic is the official language of 22 countries, accounting for approx. 300 million Arabic speakers worldwide. The Arabic used in this work is that of the press, radio and television. This common language, known as unified modern Arabic, is very close to classic or literary Arabic. In the first part of the course, called the impregnation phase, you will be introduced to Arabic characters and the rudiments of the language. Soon, you will be able to read and you will come to assimilate many simple constructions and little phrases used in everyday life. In the second part, you will move on to the active study phase. What you have learned gives you extended and solid means of expression to make yourself understood in an Arabic-speaking country. The lessons and accompanying tips will guide you step by step to independence. Once you have finished, you will be able to understand and express yourself in all common situations in everyday life.

Available in this box set in MP3 format and on audio CD, the recordings include all the texts in Arabic for each lesson and the translation exercises from the book. These progressively more challenging texts have been recorded by professional native speakers. You can download all or part of the MP3 CD on your smartphone.
