Arabic for Life: A Textbook for Beginning Arabic

Bassam K. Frangieh

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 also includes a DVD with some eighty videos of native speakers reciting the vocalized texts in the book, with dozens of audio recordings covering vocabulary and expressions, drills on Arabic sounds and letters, and various exercises and activities

Bassam Frangieh is professor of Arabic at Claremont McKenna College. He previously taught at Georgetown and Yale.  He is the author of Anthology of Arabic Literature, Culture, and Thought from Pre-Islamic Times to the Present, published by Yale University Press.
