The Elementary Modern Standard Arabic Course (EMSA) is the premier introduction, for the English-speaking student, to the active written language of the contemporary Arab world. The course, expressly designed for the beginning student, is written by a team of Arabic language teachers consisting of native and non-native Arabic speakers, linguists and people whose primary interests are literature and allied areas. This Cambridge University Press edition presents a practical introduction to the writing system of Arabic and to its pronunciation, with reading and writing and pronunciation drills.
