Fantastic resource for advanced students. I've been stuck at 3/3 ILR in Modern Standard Arabic and really need something to break through. Finally there is a tool for students who want to move beyond alKitaab or Medina. - C. Townsend I really like the book concept and his thorough research. Thanks for writing a great book on Arabic for non-native speakers. - Badrul Aini Sha'ari, Akademi Bahasa, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) Eine sehr interessante Reise in der Welt der arabischen Sprache! Gerald Dri ner ist leidenschaftlich verliebt in diese Sprache und das sp rt man. Die meisten existierenden Arabischb cher sind leider etwas veraltet oder viel zu steif. Dieses Buch kann man einfach stundenlang im Sofa durchbl ttern und dabei viel lernen. Dass ein Ausl nder dieses Buch geschrieben hat, ist auch wichtig: er wei , was einem Ausl nder beim Erlernen dieser Sprache schwer fallen kann. Also danke! - S bastien Gravier Every serious Arabic learner should get a copy of this -- whenever I have a question the book has an answer to it. I think this book is especially useful to students who have spent more than two years studying Arabic and who wants to understand Fusha grammar inside-out. - Y. Lu
