The first edition of this book, The Top 1,000 Words for Understanding Media Arabic, was a hit. Many intermediate-advanced Arabic courses have now been restructured into content-based courses, meaning that they teach the language via focus on a particular subject. Many of these courses are Media Arabic courses and this book has become a much-used reference for these students alongside their textbooks.
