This book aims to help visitors to Tunisia explore and enjoy Tunisian culture in an auhenic. It is would also be interesting to readers who wish to communicate in Tunsi with Tunisians worldwide, but also with speakers of other related dialects of Modern Sandard Arabic, such as Egypian, Libyan and Moroccan.
