Summary
Thirty Arabic short stories for complete beginners.
One of the smartest ways to improve fluency is to read stories in your chosen language. Finding appropriate literature can be tough when you’re just starting out, but this collection of 30 short stories is a fun and entertaining way of learning Arabic vocabulary and grammar. Each story is around 300 words, making them very quick reads without overwhelming you. Crafted for beginners, this is ideal for newcomers who are trying to approach fluency in a natural way.
Rapidly Learn New Vocabulary
Classes often emphasize the most proper way of speaking and writing a language, but that’s rarely found with native speakers. These stories will help you learn how Arabic is commonly written and conveyed with natural dialogues and expressions. Following each story is a list of interesting words used in the story along with an English translation. No more reaching for an Arabic-to-English dictionary when encountering uncommon words.
Grasp the Grammar
Each story has a mixture of simple dialogue, descriptive sentences and everything in-between. This allows you to pick up how sentences are commonly written along with how to describe scenery, items and people, giving you an overall and detailed way of understanding the written language.
Reading and Listening Skills
Each story is only 300 words, giving you an engaging yet simple story that you can quickly read through. We also supply you with a free audio file so that you can follow along and understand how each word is said and how the sentences should be read. This is narrated by a native Arabic speaker, ensuring every inflection is correct.
With this book you’ll get:
- Thirty short stories - each story just 300 words long, 110 pages.
- Sixty minutes of audio from a native Arabic speaker.
- Their English translation after each paragraph.
If you want to improve your reading fluency as quickly and naturally as possible, then this book is ideal. Not only that, but each story is interesting, and you can read them in a matter of minutes.
Please note: This audiobook is in Arabic.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Brilliant -- but with faults
The idea behind this publication is excellent, and the performance -- particularly Emma Lanners' wonderful elocution -- is also to be praised. But....(1) The English translation ought to come BEFORE the Arabic, not after. That would prepare
the listener mentally to understand the Arabic. That is fundamental. (2) The purpose of the stories is only to improve listening-comprehension, , so much simpler stories, with lots of words repeated, would be better. (3) In particular, the stories ought to start at the very simplest level, gaining in sophistication only very, very gradually. (4) The readings ought to be broken up into much shorter pieces, perhaps of only a single sentence each, before coming to the translation. (5) The reading-speed is far, far too fast. Even with the speed-setting at 75%, I am compelled to listen to each story again and again. I can study written Arabic for several hours a day, but after no more than 1 hour of this publication, I am too tired to continue. I ought just to mention that I am an experienced linguist and translator in a number of other languages, so studying a new language holds no terrors for me

Good but issues with PDF
Have a look back through your PDF please - a few chapters have the text written backwards! (As in backwards for Arabic!!) Think it’s only 3 or 4, but is pretty annoying when you’re trying to follow it precisely. Otherwise good, despite the ridiculously, annoyingly posh English translation voice.

Good stuff, too much English
This is a great resource which I will be incorporating into my learning. If I’m honest, I’ve been looking for something like this. The only issue I have is that long narrations of Arabic are followed by long translations in English.
This can be problematic because you end up listening to as much English as you do Arabic.
It would be better if narrations we broken up a bit more.
Nevertheless, a great resource.
