The main goal of these books is to introduce the reader to the main features
of an integrated Arabic program, one that introduces the two varieties of the
languages, called here Fus.h.فصحي MSA

and
mmiyya, عامية  of Lavant (Syria,Lebanon, Palastine and Jordan) simultaneously and in a way that
reflects the use of the language by Arabic native speakers spoken in that  area. The author  argued
that this integration is the most logical, effective, and economical way to
prepare the student of Arabic as a foreign language to deal successfully with
the Arabic diglossic situation.

Note: Arabiyyat Alnass  mean language of Arabs  or Arabic language 
 Alnass mean people -This is an IDAFA structure

 Arabic-English Dictionar

VERBACE PRO

Available from:
Features:
VerbAce Pro is a dictionary which comes as a computer software (i.e it has to be installed on your computer) that provides Arabic-English/English-Arabic translations. It enables searching by root words, searching by whole words, searching by verbs in their present/command tense and provides exact matches and partial matches.
The exact matches for verbs include basic information like form, present tense (in notation) for 3-letter verbs, synonyms in Arabic and usage with different prepositions. The nouns are provided with the plurals as well. The search results are nicely separated by verb/noun.
A very impressive feature is a hover-over translation for Arabic and English words, which makes reading Arabic articles incredibly easy and fun.
Pros:
1) Ease of Usage. Very easy and intuitive to use. The amount of knowledge of grammar you need to fully benefit from VerbAce is roughly equivalent to the amount you need for the Mawrid. However, since you can search verbs in their different tenses and many times with attached pronouns, VerbAce benefits those beginners who cannot benefit from Sakhr and the Mawrid yet. Moreover, the hover-over translation is absolutely incredible.
2) Arabic Synonyms. Helps build up the vocabulary.
3) Completeness. Unlike the Mawrid and Sakhr, VerbAce provides much more complete information about verbs and nouns. It also provides commonly used phrases (mostly contemporary) which clarify the meanings further.
4) Accuracy. The search engine of VerbAce is far superior than Sakhr or that of the electronic Mawrid. It returns results faster and much more accurately.
5) Speed. The results are displayed very speedily, yet accurately.
