Reading Arabic? Reading German? This book is designed for native German speakers and immigrants from Arabic-speaking countries, making it an enjoyable way to achieve this. The best way to learn and deepen your understanding of a foreign language is through interaction. Small stories, poems, jokes, recipes, and short factual texts, along with calligraphically designed proverbs – this diverse collection can ease some into a foreign culture; for others, it is a familiar part of their heritage, far removed from any political heaviness. The included phonetic and pronunciation guide, and especially the transliteration of all Arabic texts into Latin script according to scientific standards, which has not been found in any publication so far, are extremely helpful for learning the Arabic language.
