“Arabic Grammar for Greeks” has therefore been improved, without ever compromising the spirit and philosophy of the first book: to create a handbook that explains Arabic grammatical concepts in simple language, written by a Greek scholar of Arabic.

At the same time, Greek interest in the Arabic language has grown enormously over the past six years, amid the major geopolitical upheavals in the Arab world and the refugee flows that followed. The timing is therefore especially apt for this new edition, as the descendants of Arab refugees and immigrants living in Greece will gradually seek to reconnect with the languages of their countries of origin.

“Wiser” by six years, this book meets all these needs, making it a pioneering work of its kind in Greece.
