The Story of Sami and Warda
The Story of Sami and Warda is primarily a textbook for learning Arabic at the intermediate and advanced levels. It contains twenty two original texts designed to enhance listening and reading comprehension. The texts were written and recorded by the author for his students at Columbia University in the city of New York. Each text forms an independent unit or lesson, and each is followed by ten questions. However, as you work your way through the textbook, you will discover a storyline that links all the texts together to form a coherent story that tells of the author’s own autobiographical life journey from Beirut to Damascus to New York City. As he embarked on his odyssey to the new world, he left behind his beloved city, Beirut, engulfed in flames. The story contains details about the author’s life in Lebanon and his adventures in both Damascus and New York.
