One of the most effective ways to learn a new language is to study the media that native speakers read and listen to. Popular songs can also reveal a lot about the culture and traditions of the region where the language is spoken.
Following the success of his work "Kilma Hilwa: Egyptian Arabic through Popular Songs" (AUC Press, 2015), Cairo-based Arabic teacher Bahaa Ed-Din Ossama has now collected twenty songs in Modern Standard Arabic performed by popular singers from the Arab world, such as Abd al-Halim Hafez and Fairouz. A variety of language lessons are built around these songs, focusing on vocabulary, grammar, and usage, as well as communicative exercises in listening, writing, and speaking. The songs are graded from easy to difficult, and each lesson includes a link to a YouTube performance of the song, the lyrics, and notes about the songwriter, composer, and singer.
Students using this unique book will not only improve their Arabic language skills but also gain insight into the cultural landscape of the Arab world. Suitable for both self-study and educational purposes, the book offers learning materials suitable for all levels. Intertaal is your reliable supplier, guaranteeing fast delivery.
