There used to be something put out by (or in cooperation with?) the BBC  
called Muxtaraat, which was more long the lines of the Champs-Elysées  
magazines -- stories, with vocabulary helps, questions, etc. plus  
recordings. Is that even around anymore?

At any rate, there is, to my knowledge, no Arabic analogue of the  
Hebrew Sha’ar LamatHil, since there is no comparable push for  
emigration/immigration. Perhaps in Saudi Arabia?
