About the author
Keith Massey
15 books9 followersI'm a musician, author, and public high school Latin teacher.
I'm the author of Intermediate Arabic for Dummies. On my website, www.keithmassey.com, I provide free resources for anyone who would like to learn Arabic, Latin, Spanish, or Romanian.
I'm originally from Madison, Wisconsin, where I got my PhD in Biblical Hebrew and Arabic, with my undergrad in Latin and Greek.
My action adventure novels follow the life of Andrew Valquist, soldier, scholar, and spy.
I myself served for four years as an Arabic linguist at the Top Secret National Security Agency (NSA) after 9/11. I was awarded the Global War on Terrorism Civilian Service Medal for service performed in Iraq in 2004.
As a result of my unique background, I am able to tell action adventure stories with authentic details of espionage trade craft.
Start with A Place of Brightness for the story of how Andrew and his twin were trained in their youth for battle, only to find they would need their skills when least expected.
Continue with Amor Vincit Omnia to follow Andrew as he begins work at the Top Secret National Security Agency himself.
Next in the series is the novel Next Stop: Spanish, in which Andrew Valquist and his nephew are pulled into international intrigue while on a vacation in Spain. In the course of the story, the reader incrementally learns enough Spanish to perform a basic conversation, while simultaneously experiencing an espionage adventure.
The latest novel in the series, In Saecula Saeculorum, features four students of Andrew Valquist who are unwittingly trained for a mission set in ancient Rome, to which these four young people must travel to retrieve crucial information to save the world from an imminent catastrophe.

This is the best book out of the other Arabic for Dummies books I have read recently. The review of the basics, and the focus on written expression and conventions within the Arabic language are invaluable. While a few mistakes occur in the transliterative spelling of Arabic phrases, on the whole (especially when compared to the other Arabic for Dummies book), the book was easy to understand and extremely useful. I will be rereading this book to study it further and to complete the exercises it provides.
