MPA vs MSA Lesson 7
MPA vs MSA
Modern Public Arabic VS Modern Standard Arabic
Author: ALGHN. A.
1
INTRODUCTION
This book is about making the daily spoken Arabic easier for the non native Arab
students, by showing them the most common Arabic words that most popular for
public and can be understood for the majority of locals in almost all Arab countries.
The language techniques shown in this book are very accurate based on my own
long experience as a Levantine linguist who travelled or temporarily lived in (all) Arab
countries during the past 25 years.

Hello,
My great love for Arabic language turned me into a calligraphy artist, moreover, helping others to learn Arabic is my pleasure and holy joy.

MSA (fus’ha) is used only in official communication, and Arab dialects are almost endless, therefore, I will do my best to choose for you words that are most widely understood all over Arab countries as a presentation of my book titled Modern Public Arabic (MPA) vs Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), which I wrote based on my own long experience as a Levantine linguist who travelled or temporarily lived in (all) Arab countries during the past 25 years.
