Reviews
"This second edition contains an intelligently conceived and organized business vocabulary, ranging from general to specialized, across essential business-related domains. Business Arabic carefully arranges well-chosen and up-to-date business lexicon and marks each word's internal vowels in order to assist the nonnative Arabic book users to disambiguate forms that fit more than one inflectional pattern in Arabic. This handy business vocabulary book is an indispensable aid for students of business Arabic, business professionals, and translators, as well as those studying Arabic for general purposes."—Mohssen Esseesy, professor of Arabic and international affairs, George Washington University, and author of Al-Munjiz: Advanced Business Arabic
