Let's Speak Arabic - Yallah Nihki Arabi 3
Take your conversational skills to the next level with Let’s Speak Arabic – Yalla Nihkī ’Arabī, Book III. This third volume in the acclaimed series builds on the foundations laid in Books I and II and is used in courses at respected institutions such as the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Al‑Quds University. With a generous collection of stories and current‑news items drawn from print, radio and television, this book immerses you in authentic, real‑world usage of the Jerusalem/Palestinian dialect and brings your understanding into a fuller, culturally rich dimension.
In this volume you will encounter 45 compelling narratives that review and expand your lexical and grammatical knowledge while placing you in meaningful contexts — everything from everyday conversation to topical media‑items. Each segment includes English‑phonetic transcription, Arabic script, and an English word‑list to support accurate pronunciation and comprehension. The book invites learners who already have a solid grasp of the dialect to grow into more sophisticated speech habits, understand subtle idiomatic patterns, and engage with language as it is truly used.
Written by Omar Othman with decades of classroom experience, this book reflects his deep commitment to connecting non‑native learners with authentic spoken Arabic. His approach prioritises natural dialogue, frequent exposure to the living dialect, and gradual movement toward fluency — making Book III not just a textbook but a bridge into the vibrant linguistic world of Palestinian everyday life.
As with the previous two books, recordings of the book’s materials are available for purchase separately, providing essential support for listening, pronunciation, and immersive learning.
