Good Tool

Good stories to learn Arabic with. The narrator gradually picks up speed and the level of vocabulary met my skill level (beginner to intermediate)

Great stories for beginners but missing

Really good and funny stories. Reading is good and bit slow for me so I increased playback speed. One issue, a pdf of the stories should have been included

A good tool for learners

This audio book is a good tool for Arabic language learners.

It is dedicated to basic users of Arabic, even though a certain knowledge of its basic grammar and syntax rules is required.

Stories are fun and gets you to continue listening.

The most remarkable moment is when Sam meets the Queen of Egypt (Malikat Misr) and they catch a bus. Then they are asked for their tickets and Sam says...

Excellent!

Perfect book for folks who have studied beginners level arabic (about a year or so of university). The text is read SLOWLY and uses pretty basic vocab. at first. New vocab is introduced gradually and the words repeat themselves quite a bit so you can usually figure them out (or if need be look them up). The thing I liked most about the book is that the stories are FUN, IMAGINATIVE and HUMOROUS - a refreshing change from the usual arabic reading drills. A student from America goes to Egypt to study and meets an ancient Egyptian queen in an underground chamber while going on a walk around the pyramids. She wants to marry him and... well I won't spoil the story for you. There are some references to political figures (including a taxi driver who says "George Bush no good!", and an exchange student from Cuba who says that she's in love with Fidel Castro) but it's clearly all in good fun. All in all the book is slow enough to be comprehensible, graded enough to be challenging, and imaginitive enough to be fun. Highly recommended for students of Arabic!

Needs transcript

This collection of four Arabic stories would be much more valuable with an accompanying transcript.
