Synopsis

650 Idioms and Proverbial Phrases in Modern Standard Arabic is the ideal tool for learners of Arabic who wish to improve their knowledge and comprehension of Arabic language and culture and make their language more expressive and idiomatic. Including over 650 idiomatic expressions found in contemporary Arabic, this book is divided into two parts. Part I lists the idioms alphabetically for ease of use, providing English equivalents and a range of illustrative example sentences to show how the idioms are used in different contexts. The idioms are chosen based on frequency of use in written Arabic as well as oral speech, in Arabic literature and mass media. Part II includes 30 practice exercises structured around original texts which include the idioms covered in Part I. These practice exercises encourage students to review the meanings of idioms while improving their reading skills and familiarity with various text genres. Designed to be comprehensive, accurate, and easy to use, the book reflects the daily use of Arabic and draws on real and authentic use of the language. Suitable for use as a textbook or reader, this is an ideal resource for students at CEFR level B1 to C2 or Intermediate-High to Advanced-High on the ACTFL proficiency scale.
