Palestinian Colloquial Arabic Vocabulary presents over 4,500 words, phrases, and example sentences organized by topic. Unlike a dictionary, which is meant to be used as a reference, this book is a powerful and effective study tool for increasing your vocabulary for daily communication. All items appear in a three-column layout with Arabic script (with diacritics/tashkeel), phonemic transcription (to aid in accurate pronunciation), and English translation –and often include grammar and usage notes. An alphabetical English-Arabic index helps you locate needed words quickly. ★ Audio : Access the accompanying 🎧 audio tracks on the publisher's website, where you can also find (available separately) Anki digital flashcards with audio. ⚠️ A recent review raised concerns about the accuracy of the translation for "orange juice," described as "ʿaṣīr laymūn" in the book. This is, in fact, the correct term for orange juice in Levantine Arabic, where "laymūn" refers to oranges, not lemons. Lemons are typically called "laymūn ḥāmuḍ" (literally, "sour orange") in this dialect. The vocabulary and translations in this book are based on authentic usage by native speakers of Palestinian Arabic. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify this for our readers! Review: Absolutely essential - This book is absolutely an essential resource and study guide if you are just starting out. It is great! BUY IT! Review: Gazan Dialect - More similar to the Gazan dialect than the West Bank dialect

immediately found errors
I immediately found errors in the book. Orange juice is translated as "asir laymon" (lemon juice). I haven't read the whole book, but this makes me doubt the accuracy of so many other things.

Good vocabulary list, very few phrases.
The book is a good, extensive list, but it’s not very functional since it includes very few real life phrases where is the vocabulary can be used. It’s only good for reference as a dictionary.

Ottima risorsa
Risorsa molto utile per chi intende lavorare sul dialetto levantino, in particolare su quello palestinese. Diviso per tematiche e di facile consultazione. Ottimo lavoro!

Great resource, just wish it had more
Great book. Lots of content and the additional purchase of the pre made anki deck is definitely a useful resource. I wish there was more opportunities to learn words in context, but it is a vocab book after all, so the main goal is mainly words in isolation.
