Arabic for Life

"Arabic for Life" takes an intensive, comprehensive approach to beginning Arabic instruction and is specifically tailored to the needs of talented and dedicated students. Unlike the other Arabic textbooks on the market, Arabic for Life is not specifically focused on either grammar or proficiency. Instead, it offers a balanced methodology that combines these goals. Frangieh has created a book that is full of energy and excitement about Arabic language and culture, and it effectively transmits that excitement to students. "Arabic for Life" offers a dynamic and multidimensional view of the Arab world that incorporates language with Arabic culture and intellectual thought. ""Arabic for Life" must take the prize as the most attractively produced introduction ever to Arabic language and culture. And the way it combines the walls and doors of learning the language at an elementary level with windows into history, literature and other aspects of culture is splendid."--Dr. Hilary Kilpatrick, Reviews Editor of "Middle Eastern Literatures" --Dr. Hilary Kilpatrick
