Arabic Folktales for Language Learners by Sarah Risha (Paperback, Arabic and English)

Sarah Risha's reader gathers 28 traditional folktales from the Arab world and prints each one in Arabic and English on facing pages, so learners can check meaning without losing the thread of the story. Written for beginners, the tales start short and simple and grow longer and more complex as the book goes on.

It works well for adult self-learners, students in Arabic classes and heritage speakers who want reading practice built on stories rather than drills.

• Parallel text: Arabic and English side by side for every tale
• Graded: stories build in length and difficulty through the book
• Study tools: a vocabulary list for each story, plus cultural notes and exercises
• Listening practice: free online audio recordings in both languages
• Illustrated: 26 black and white drawings
