Having studied formal Arabic myself many years ago, I was intrigued by the idea going to various Arabic speaking countries to learn the "real" language used by real speakers. In the book, Ms. O'Neill visits Egypt, The Gulf States, Lebanon, and Morocco. She delivers incredible insights into the language, the culture, and the relationship between the two. I liked this book so much, I'm making my colleagues (We are ESL teachers.) read this for professional development. If you like learning about languages or cultures, I recommend this book.
