It combines a progressive and rigorous grounding in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), the register employed for reading, writing and formal speaking, with an innovative integration of the dominant Egyptian variety. Introducing the two simultaneously and seamlessly building on their shared features, 'Arabiyyat al-Naas fii MaSr (Part One) uses each in its proper context: Egyptian dialect for conversations and MSA for reading and writing activities. In this way, the course efficiently prepares students for the practical realities of learning and living Arabic today.

Expanded grammar explanations and activation drills, including discussions about colloquial and formal similarities and differences
A series of authentic video-clips recorded in Egypt to help learners revise the vocabulary and structures then learn unit by unit
