Introduction
Welcome to the fastest resource available to grow your Arabic
vocabulary now.
Are you looking for strategies to quickly and easily grow your Arabic
vocabulary across a wide variety of subjects? You have found the book to
help you do just that, in the fastest way possible.
Arabic is very different from English and other romance languages.
People will tell you that there are no similarities. But that is simply not
true! Arabic and English share and borrow hundreds of words.
Throughout the centuries many Arabic words were introduced into
English and other European languages. Similarly, in modern times many
words of English and European origin are now found in the Arabic
language. These words are found in many fields and subjects.
Utilizing these words, you can quickly and easily boost your Arabic
vocabulary with minimal effort. In fact, many of these words are
considered advanced and high-level Arabic. These words will be very
familiar to you, and can be easily incorporated into your current
language. Most of them you already use frequently in English. A few of
the words on the list also happen to sound the same, or have a closely
related shared sound and meaning. Because of these similarities, you will
also find them easy to learn and use.
This book contains over 1000 words, and is possibly the largest book of
its kind compiled to-date for study of the Arabic language. The words are
placed into categories, and each word includes English, Arabic and a
rough pronunciation guide. Some notes are included for clarification. This
deluxe bilingual edition includes both English and Arabic, and is
categorized for easy reference.
Students that are beginning to learn Arabic can use these as a bridge to
quickly build a foundation of vocabulary to use in their studies and initial

conversations. Instructors can use these to inspire confidence and
progress in their students. The more advanced students can most quickly
absorb the lists, enhancing their vocabulary by hundreds of words in
record time.
Students traditionally discover these words one by one during classes
and study. Now with Arabic You Already Know you can rapidly speed up
learning significantly.
