Subject:Sahlawayhi Arabic Grammar for Foreigners
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; white-space: normal; "><div dir="ltr"><p>Dear friends and colleagues,<br>I've finally published my grammar book "Sahlawayhi Arabic Grammar for Foreigners". If you don't want to read about it, please delete.<br> <br>I think it's different from conventional grammar books in many ways:<br>1. It emphasizes language functions and meanings. Therefore, many chapters have new or different titles. Some chapters explai rules analogous to grammars of European languages.<br> <br>2. The book is completely in Arabic, except for a three-page list of grammatical terms translated into English, French, German and Spanish.<br> <br>3. The language of explanation corresponds to the level of the grammatical topic.<br> <br>4. The design of the book is also different: The right-hand page is for explanation and examples, whereas the left-hand page is for exercises.<br> <br>5. The examples and exercises are taken, mainly, from Sahlawayhi: Graded Stories for Beginners. So, there is context, instead of learning grammar in isolation.<br> <br>6. There is also an answer key, which makes it also suitable for self-study.<br> <br>I have a 60-page file of excerpts. If you are interested, please write to me and I'll send it to you.<br>The book can be bought online at<br><a href="http://www.createspace.com/3428829">www.createspace.com/3428829</a><br> </p><p>-- <br>Ahmad Khorshid<br>Arabic Language Instructor<br>The American University in Cairo<br clear="all"></p><div><br></div></div></span>
