This short, accessible vocabulary of Media Arabic provides learners with ready-made lists of strictly relevant vocabulary, giving them key terms for translating both from and into Arabic.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference without an index
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 August 2008
    I have found this invaluable for understanding newspaper and television. I am still a beginner and this book allows me to find words that are just not in anything but the biggest dictionary. However, the lack of an index makes it very hard to navigate and I regularly have to thumb through it page-by-page, word-by-word, which is not ideal.
