Let's Get Down to Business...Arabic Style!

If you need to acquaint yourself with the language of contracts, forms, and official letters, then this book can help. Business Arabic is page after page of photocopied forms and correspondence of all kinds, from shipment forms to customer service. Some of the documents are in English and Arabic, but you are expected to be fluent enough to navigate your way through all but the most trade-specific vocabulary. Each section contains a short glossary of terms following the authentic material, and a comprehensive glossary is given at the end of the book. This textbook is essentially an exercise book, with questions following the examples. This book is definitely advanced, but there is an intermediate level available as well. And while it says there is an audio-visual component to the text right on the title, there isn't. At least none comes with the book. I asked the Michigan University press about this and they told me one doesn't exist. The CD component was probably only meant for Prof. Rammuny's students.
