This is Egypt... The Geography of Egypt: Egyptian Arabic for Advanced Learners

By Matthew Aldrich and Ahmad Al-Masri

This is Egypt... The Geography of Egypt (دي مصر جغرافية مصر) is the second book in the 'This is Egypt...' series from Lingualism, aimed at advanced learners (C1-C2 level) of Egyptian Colloquial Arabic.

This book explores twelve key aspects of Egypt's geography-its regions, landscapes, and environments that shape daily life and national identity. From the fertile Nile Delta to the vast deserts, from bustling Cairo to the Red Sea coast, each unit presents a detailed article that highlights how geography influences Egypt's history, economy, and culture.

Who Is This Book For?

This book is ideal for advanced learners of Egyptian Arabic who have already studied Lingualism's B2-level materials and/or are ready for the challenge of C1-C2 level texts. The combination of articles, vocabulary, exercises, and audio makes it a comprehensive resource for improving reading, listening, and cultural understanding at an advanced level.

This is Egypt... The Geography of Egypt will help you expand your vocabulary, strengthen your comprehension, and gain deeper insight into the landscapes, regions, and environments that define Egypt while pushing your Egyptian Arabic skills to the next level.
