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
The phrases that make your Saudi office stop switching to English.
You do your job in English. Then the room shifts to Arabic for thirty seconds — a joke, a thank-you, a "we'll sort it" — and you're outside it again. This phrasebook is that thirty seconds. Not business Arabic, not fus-ha: the actual spoken Saudi lines that go around an office all day, from the morning greeting to the end of a meeting.
What's inside
- 100 workplace phrases, grouped by the moment you need them
- Greetings, introductions and the small talk before a meeting starts
- Meetings, deadlines, agreeing, pushing back politely
- HR, leave requests, and talking to a manager
- Giving and taking feedback without sounding blunt
- Every line in Arabic script, easy transliteration and plain English
You'll be able to say things like
- يعطيك العافية — ya3Teek al-3aafya — "more power to you" — the single most-used line in any Saudi workplace
- أبشر — abshir — "consider it done"
- على راسي — 3ala raasi — "gladly" — literally "on my head"
- خلاص — khalaaS — "done, that's settled"
Who it's for

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.”
