<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>An essential guide for anyone seeking to learn Arabic, including tips and tricks to make the process more productive</b></p> <p>Arabic is one of the world's most complex and fascinating languages, but many students dive into it without first understanding what they are aiming for, much less knowing how they will get there. <i>Thirteen Ways to Make a Plural: Preparing to Learn Arabic </i>provides essential guidance on making a success of learning Arabic, drawing on the author's personal experience of having been there and done it, along with the insights and advice of countless other students and teachers. </p> <p>Written in a lively and engaging style, this invaluable primer enables readers to identify the type of Arabic (modern standard or colloquial) suited to their needs, to set realistic learning goals, and to achieve them more efficiently. It includes tried-and-tested methods for improving vocabulary retention, speaking fluency, listening accuracy, and reading skills, while separating the grammar that's needed in the real world from that which can be left for later. It also provides helpful advice on how to make the most of an 'immersion' experience abroad, what it takes to reach an advanced level, and the Arabic required in different professional areas.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A gem"--<b><i>AramcoWorld</i></b></p><p>"Outstanding."--<b>Gareth Bayley, Former UK Special Representative for Syria</b></p><br><p>"This book is a must-read for anyone considering learning, or already learning, Arabic. . . I wish it had been written years ago."--<b>Elisabeth Kendall, Senior Research Fellow in Arabic Studies, University of Oxford</b></p><br><p>"Learning Arabic is an amazing experience, though for some months it can feel more like just a maze.

He offers sound, accurate advice that is evidently grounded in years of Arabic expertise. Highly recommend."--<b>Donovan Nagel, linguist, translator, and founder of <i>TalkInArabic.com</i></b></p><br><p>"This engaging volume is not a text book: it might rather be called a pre-text book. It won't teach you Arabic, but it will give you an idea of the language. If you are thinking of studying it, or have decided to learn it or are in the early stages of learning it, you will find in it sound practical advice."--<b>Sir Harold Walker, former diplomat and one-time Principal Instructor at the Middle East Centre for Arab Studies, Lebanon</b></p><br><p>"An invaluable guide for Arabic learners and teachers alike. . . This very readable book helps learners to navigate the many different ways to approach studying Arabic and to manage their expectations and better evaluate their progress. Not just for beginners, this thought-provoking book is full of practical tips for intermediate and even advanced learners to develop their weaker skills and move to the next level."--<b>Ruth Ahmedzai Kemp, Arabic teacher and translator</b></p> <p/><br>
