English
By (author): Abdullah Hammadi Lamia Jamal-Aldin
More than 650 Arabic idioms listed alphabetically with their English language meanings. Each entry includes use of the idiomatic phrase in model sentences presented in both Arabic and English.
30 units of practice exercises to consolidate the use of the idioms, and to enable the learners to confidently express themselves using Arabic Idioms and Idiomatic expressions.
The comprehensive list covers idiomatic expressions found in contemporary Arabic literature, Arabic media, religious texts, and both formal and informal context.
Combined with examples of their actual usage in Arabic sentences and full English translations, the Arabic Idioms book takes the learner beyond intermediate level and expands their knowledge of frequently used, natural Arabic expressions, providing them with greater confidence in everyday use of the language, and greater insight into culture.
The idioms are fully vocalised, i.e. with diacritical marks on all the letters, to ensure the reader knows how to pronounce them correctly.
