Best sentence I've yet encountered in my still extremely limited time reading Arabic

أطفال يجرون ويصيحون، ورجال بشوارب كثيفة يقبلون أيدي أمهاتهم.


'Children yell and run around, while men with bushy moustaches kiss the hands of their mothers.'

Last year: If this is easy, I am a teapot.
Now: Wow this is actually not hard 🥹 (tears of joy). So I AM improving, though I still have no idea what on earth newscasters are saying.

I really enjoyed it! I’ve studied Egyptian Arabic and I was amazed by how much Fus7a I were able to understand. I love the mix of stories and facts about famous Arabs.

Buku ini walaupun dinamakan sebagai Easy Arabic Reader, tapi lebih sesuai untuk bacaan pelajar bahasa Arab tahap pertengahan dan tinggi.

Buku ini dibahagikan kepada tiga cerita, tentang: 1) Jamal, watak fiksyen dan perjalanannya ke Timur Tengah. 2) Tokoh-tokoh dunia Arab seperti penyair, penyanyi dan lain-lain. 3) Kisah adaptasi Ali Baba yang hidup pada zaman moden.
