Start speaking Saudi Arabic from zero — without learning the alphabet first.

Your app taught you Arabic. Saudi Arabia speaks something else. Book 1 starts with the words you need in week one: greetings, numbers, directions, ordering, asking for things, and the small talk that makes people switch from English back to Arabic with you.

Every phrase appears three ways — Arabic script, simple transliteration you can read on sight, and plain English — so you can use it today and learn to read it later.

What's inside

  • 9 lessons in the order daily life actually throws them at you
  • 25 audio tracks recorded by a native Saudi speaker, slow and clear
  • 70+ pages of bilingual dialogues, exercises and pronunciation tips
  • Culture notes on when and with whom each phrase fits

You'll be able to say things like

  • هلا والله — hala wallah — the greeting that instantly reads as local
  • وقّف هنا — waggif hina — "stop here"
  • أبغى — abgha — "I want" — the one verb that unlocks half of daily life

Who it's for

English-speaking expats in Saudi Arabia starting at absolute zero. No grammar background needed, no alphabet required.

How you get it

Instant download after checkout: PDF plus audio. Works on any device. Yours forever.

“It's a nice introduction to learning Arabic as spoken by Saudis. It's basic but allows you at least hold a conversation with someone who only speaks Arabic.”

“I have actually been watching your SaudiLingo videos for a while, and they have been really helpful throughout my Arabic learning journey. For me, it has always been practical and very dialect focused which is really helpful.”

“Nicely done! The phrases are very useful. The text is clearly enunciated and slowly spoken, so one can hear and understand each word. I found it helpful to be able to read the text in Arabic as it’s being spoken, so I could stop and practice saying the words out loud. Repetition, repetition, repetition!”

“I have been taking private lessons with Saudi Lingo for a couple of months now (I also bought the book for beginners). I can confidently say that everything is 110% worth the money. The lessons are extremely well structured and I very quickly became comfortable with the Saudi dialect. I plan to keep taking lessons with Saudi Lingo until I am fluent and would recommend anyone who wants to learn the dialect quickly book a lesson! The books and their accompanying audio are also excellent, and pair perfectly with the private lessons.”
