Expat Starter Pack — Saudi Arabic Phrasebooks (N° 01 + N° 02 + N° 03)
All three pocket guides — first week, supermarket and workplace — in one download.
$20
100 phrases to shop like you live here — not like you're visiting.
Panda, Lulu, Tamimi, or the bakala on your street. The supermarket is where you have the most Arabic conversations per week and win the fewest of them: the weight, the price, the bag, the "we don't have it, but try tomorrow." These are the lines that turn those thirty-second exchanges from guesswork into something you actually handle.
What's inside
- 100 shopping phrases, grouped by where you are in the shop
- Fruit, vegetables, meat and the butcher counter — weights and cuts
- Asking for something you can't find, and understanding the answer
- Prices, haggling at the bakala, paying and bagging up
- Every line in Arabic script, easy transliteration and plain English
You'll be able to say things like
- بكم الكيلو؟ — bikam al-keelo? — "how much per kilo?"
- عندكم…؟ — 3indakum…? — "do you have…?"
- بس كذا — bas kitha — "that's all, thanks"
- كيس لو سمحت — kees law samaHt — "a bag please"

Customer Reviews
“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!”
“Very helpful and unique tools for students wanting to develop Saudi dialect”
“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.”
