This new edition, updated and with additional exercises, equips those who work, travel, and study in Arab countries with an educated form ofspoken Arabic that functions flexibly in the face of various regional colloquial variants in the Arab world. Because the Arabic language has a number of very different spoken vernaculars, being able to speak and be understood in all Arab countries has become a challenge for English speakers. Ryding and Mehall have designed a course that teaches a standardized variant ofspoken Arabic that is close to, but more natural than, the literary Modern Standard Arabic.
