Review Quotes:
Praise for the first edition -
'Unlike most books on colloquial Arabic, this one covers the subject in a really comprehensive fashion. The author's experience in E[nglish] L[anguage] T[eaching] enables him to understand the needs of the learner who wishes to communicate effectively in Arabic -- two notable features of the book are the pacing of the material and the usefulness of the exercises... The dialogues are inventive, realistic and often humorous, and by the last unit the learner should be in a position to tackle "real" Gulf Arabic.'
- from a review by Peter Emery, University of Bath, in the Journal of Semitic Studies, 29 (1984), p344-345.
