For someone who begun with Levantine Arabic and then moved to MSA, I find the Egyptian words and pronunciation often very different. I would have liked more explanatory notes explaining that 'this or that word is restricted to Egypt, and that you won't hear it in other dialects that much', etc.I would have also loved to have a comprehensive vocabulary, a pronunciation guide (especially since the colloquial doesn't use vocalizations in writing), and most importantly, the correct answers in the back of the book! As an independent learner I find little use for a book where I can't check if I got my exercises right. The authors should have prepared a separate key to the book, a teacher's book or similar that an independent learner can use as a reference. I would have paid for such a book, and the availability of such a book would have made me buy all the books in the series. Now I fear I will not be using this very much. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must for Intermediate learners *by P***I on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 April 2017* The book is excellent and honestly I do not understand some negative reviews regarding the absence of a teacher....these books can be used in a classroom but they are also an outstanding tool for self-study. Of course it is clearly stated that the required level is Intermediate. I have bought almost anything on the market regarding Egyptian Arabic and I can tell you without fear of being contradicted that this book is simply a must if you want to learn Intermediate Egyptian Arabic. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best of of it's type *by G***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 August 2009* A previous reviewer slated this book and I can understand that - if you are not prepared to learn to read and write in script. However they were quite wrong saying it is a book for teachers only. It is aimed at students but clearly is best used in a class where you have some guidance.That said - I am doing mine at home alone but there is plenty of help in forums and so on.I have already done both Michel Thomas (good for understanding) and Pimsleur (good for talking) audio courses and found this a great place to continue albeit a somewhat daunting task having to totally embrace reading and writing in script.It is however untrue that there is no transliteration in the series. The place to start is Kallini Arabi Bishweesh where the earlier work is repeated in transliteration and this is gradually withdrawn as the book goes on.It will always be painfully slow for someone new to script but if you intend to do it, it's a good way to get immersed in it.For the feint hearted, Kullu Tamam teaches a similar format but is transliterated. Might a good idea to dip into both if you find it a bit heavy going till you can read script reasonably well.I have bought all 5 in the series and think they are a great investment for those who are seriously wishing to learn.If anyone is unsure, feel free to email me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/50126937-kallimni-arabi-an-intermediate-course-in-spoken-egyptian-arabic-2](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/50126937-kallimni-arabi-an-intermediate-course-in-spoken-egyptian-arabic-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
