Print out one page of the PDF each week. Cut it into individual strips. Tape one strip to your bathroom mirror, coffee mug, or computer monitor each day. You will passively absorb vocabulary without “studying.”

If your goal is to watch Egyptian movies or speak street Arabic in Lebanon, supplement this PDF with a dialect guide. But for reading the Quran, understanding Al Jazeera, or traveling across multiple Arab countries, this MSA list is your best tool.

One clear, primary definition is given for each word. For words with multiple meanings (e.g., “run” can mean to jog or to manage), we provide the most common usage first.

Particles, prepositions, and conjunctions (e.g., "in," "from," "and") that form the "glue" of sentences.
