Recenzii
Reviews from Instructors
"This is a well thought out, well laid out, and well executed comprehensive grammar of Modern Standard Arabic…a polished pedagogical reference tool. The fluidity of writing, the breadth of coverage and the accessibility and clarity of presentation are impressive; Sawaie shows a keen familiarity with student needs, a talent for explaining Arabic grammatical concepts in English and an encyclopaedic knowledge of modern Arabic grammar. It is appropriate for all levels, providing a clear explanation of grammatical concepts accessible enough for beginning students but sophisticated enough for students at the advanced levels." David Wilmsen, American University of Beirut
"An excellent grammar reference for both teachers and learners of Arabic. The material is clearly presented with strong explanations, yet elegantly concise. This is a much needed book." Zeinab A. Taha, The American University in Cairo, Egypt
"This is a welcome resource. Professor Sawaie offers accessible explanations of Arabic grammar clearly resultant of his years of classroom teaching...the Arabic examples are so well selected that they can be used in teaching classes of any skill level. The ample charts throughout the book, as well as its appendices, add a comprehensive quality to the book, by which a learner can expand their knowledge of Modern Standard Arabic. This book accomplishes something unique, by presenting the essential elements of Modern Standard Arabic both lucidly, and in its totality." Benjamin L Smith, Swarthmore College, USA
"As a resource book, this volume covers everything that a student of MSA would need to know about Arabic Grammar, even at the advanced level ... A major positive aspect of the book is its style and clarity of presentation ... The book contains well-structured chapters and provides concise definitions of the terms used to discuss the issues at hand... Overall, this is an excellent book and one o the most accessible Arabic grammar references that I have seen in any language, including those directed at Arabic speakers." Lotfi Sayahi, The University at Albany, SUNY, USA. The Modern Language Journal 2015
"Fundamentals systematically walks the reader through each grammatical topic, supporting every claim with examples... this volume makes a useful and welcome addition to the body of Arabic reference-grammar literature." Jamal Ali, Rutgers University, USA, Al-'Arabiyya 2016.
"Mohammed Sawaie’s Fundamentals of Arabic Grammar is a refreshingly clear, practical and uncluttered treatment of major grammar points that succeeds admirably, as it avoids getting lost in esoteric linguistic terminology and classifications. As such, it will be a welcome reference for most teachers and advanced students of Arabic." David DiMeo, Western Kentucky University, USA
Reviews from Students
"I found this book to be a very helpful writing aid, both as a grammar reference for advanced students and as a textbook for learning Arabic grammar concepts for the first time. The book clearly explains the rules and common constructions of the Arabic language, in depth, with translated examples throughout each section. Whenever I am writing in Arabic, I make sure to have this book on my desk as a reference." Matthew Bond
"Mohammed's book is clearly laid out with examples that offer insight into how students might construct sentences that challenge the conventional rules. There are plenty of in-text examples, and the charts online are an excellent reference tool. The prose is clear, and the chapters go beyond fundamental grammar instruction to offer useful phrases for advanced composition writing. Since purchasing Fundamentals of Arabic Grammar, I have taken it with me in all my Arabic endeavors as it is more than a grammar reference, it is a guide to the language." Audrey Waldrop
"I used Fundamentals of Arabic Grammar by Mohammed Sawaie in my third year as a student of Arabic. In all honesty, I wish I had used it sooner! My understanding of Arabic grew substantially through the use of this grammar book. Repetition is key to learning any language, and the repetitive nature of the accompanying online resources helped me improve my reading and writing skills tremendously. Along with the online resources, book examples of the grammar points further promoted my understanding of Arabic. Even since graduating college, I use Fundamentals of Arabic Grammar as a go-to resource and a way to keep up with the language. The book is very user-friendly, easy to navigate, and concise. I recommend this book as both a quick go-to resource and an in-depth language learning tool. Five stars for this book and its accompanying resources." Reema Azar.
