About the Book

In this four-hour intermediate level audio course Michel Thomas Method teachers Jane Wightwick and Mahmoud Gaafar introduce over 1,000 new words, verbs and everyday phrases through essential language building blocks which allow you to increase your vocabulary in manageable, enjoyable steps by thinking out answers for yourself.

What's the added plus? Unlike most vocabulary courses which give you lists of words to memorise, the Michel Thomas Method based Vocabulary Builder+ allows you to further extend your vocabulary by unlocking what you already know. Focusing on the similarities and differences between Arabic and English, you will gain the tools and strategies to exponentially build up your vocabulary.

Who is this course for? Whether you have learned from other Michel Thomas courses or are simply looking for a new approach to help improve your proficiency, the Arabic Vocabulary Builder+ will introduce you to a unique way of acquiring language that will significantly boost your confidence in your ability to speak, listen to and understand Arabic.
