With the significant changes in the Middle East and North Africa in recent years, interest in learning and using the Arabic language has grown. For a non-Arab who wants to actively apply their language skills in a professional context and in interactions with Arabs, it makes sense to acquire competencies primarily in Modern Standard Arabic and the colloquial dialects based on it. This textbook provides much stronger training than its predecessor, "The Course in Contemporary Arabic Writing" by W. Fischer and O. Jastrow, in skills and abilities for oral and written communication in Arabic. Additionally, it introduces the geography and culture of Arab countries and familiarizes readers with important educational resources of the Arab world. Various images illustrate the cultural content. This textbook is primarily designed for.
