Synopsis

An invaluable guide to more than one hundred of the most commonly used Modern Standard Arabic idioms

Idioms are deeply rooted in their cultural context and as such are both are uniquely tricky and key to competency in a language.

With more than 140 of frequently used Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) idioms, this book is a key learning tool for intermediate to advanced learners of the language. Organized by theme into eight chapters, each idiom includes an English translation or equivalent expression and a short bilingual dialogue to show the idiom used in context. Each unit ends with a set of exercises to practice usage and aid in language acquisition.

Mastering Modern Standard Arabic Idioms is designed to be a flexible resource, and as such could be adopted in a classroom setting or employed in self-study, and will be of interest to students of language, literature, and culture, as well as to translators and linguists.
