About the books

Which one should I buy?

I am starting from nothing. Where do I begin?

The Essential Saudi Dialect Book, at Level 1. It is built as three levels rather than a phrase list, and Level 1 is written for someone who landed this week - greetings, taxis, coffee, numbers, asking for help. Read the free chapter first; it costs nothing and it is the real thing rather than a preview.

What is the difference between the book and the series?

The Essential Book takes you from your first 48 hours to holding a real conversation, in three levels, and doubles as the thing you look phrases up in afterwards. The Self-Study Series is slower and more thorough - three books with exercises after every section and a WhatsApp group where you can ask a teacher.

Digital or the printed package?

The digital book is 189 SAR and arrives immediately: the PDF, the interactive web book, all the audio and the quizzes. The Hard Copy Package is 299 SAR and is the printed book plus all of the digital, delivered free anywhere in Saudi Arabia.

Are the stories included in anything?

No, the stories are sold on their own. They are short reads for the days when you want the language coming at you rather than sitting down to study it.
