We would like to announce the availability of a new reference work on Arabic
expressions and idioms intended for the advanced student of Egyptian
Colloquial Arabic. *Arabi Liblib*, by Kamal Al Ekhnawy and Jamal Ali will be
issued in three volumes.
Volume one, currently available, is about terms and expressions used to
describe people and their characteristics and personalities.
Volume two is on proverbs that are used in common speech and will be
available later this year.
Volume three is about idiomatic expressions and is scheduled to be out at
the end of this year.

In each volume, expressions are listed alphabetically, and are followed by
an explanation of their meanings and usage, followed by a translation of the
expression to English, or the closest English equivalent if one is
available. The explanations are written in Egyptian Colloquial Arabic, which
provides further opportunities for reinforcement for the reader.
There are even exercises at the end to practice using and recognizing the
expressions.
