This book, this Manual of English-Arabic Translation, is a course for beginners whose mother tongue is Arabic but who have learnt English as a second language for a number of years. It is a preliminary, though not necessarily too elementary, course in English-Arabic Translation : those who can read and understand English will find it a useful beginning (if they want to practise translation either as a help in their jobs or as a career).
Content is organized within 12 thematic units, including Everyday Language, People, Housing, Food and Recreation. Each unit starts with an Intro page (new to this edition) and ends with a story page, with single or double page sub topics introducing new words in a realistic visual context and easy to learn "chunks."
Al-Mawrid Al-Hadeeth - A Modern English-Arabic Dictionary
Al-Mawrid Al-Hadeeth is the foremost English-Arabic dictionary, which has become a household name in the Arab world. It is a fully updated version of al-Mawrid, embracing thousands of new entries, new meanings of earlier vocabulary, and a host of idiomatic expressions.
This dictionary is derived from the Arabic-English-French dictionary in Al-Shamela free library software. The ultimate source is not specified; it is probably one of Al-Mawrid dictionaries by Ruhi Al-Ba'albaki.
