Recall drills — 126 more questions from the B2 words

These 126 drills are generated from the Arabic B2 vocabulary list — the words of “Advanced grammar” through “Culture and mastery”, in both directions: recognition (word → meaning) and production (meaning → word).

Arabic B2 beyond the drills — culture, reading, listening, idioms

These sections are written for Arabic B2 specifically. The reading text is EkGuru's own; the culture note cites where its facts come from; the idioms and the mistakes list are the ones this level actually trips over.

Culture note

Formal written Arabic prefers nominal sentences for definitions and verbal sentences for events, and it signals the difference with particles rather than word order alone. إنّ opens a statement of fact with emphasis — إنّ الاتفاق عادل says 'the agreement IS just' — while أنّ packs the same clause into a noun ('that the agreement is just'). Getting these two right is what separates a learner's report from a document a ministry will read.

Source (named, not linked): en.wikipedia.org, the article “Arabic grammar”.

Reading — read this aloud, slowly

What it says: The rise in energy prices affected the economy over the past year, especially in the industrial sector. The report noted that short-term solutions are not enough, while other experts believe that investment in renewable energy is the surest path. On the other hand, the most important question remains: who bears the cost of the transition?

Listening — one voice, one text

Use the speaker button to hear this text with a browser voice tagged ar-SA; playback starts only after a click. If no matching voice is installed, read it aloud yourself — the rhythm is the point.

What it says: A: Before we begin, what is the first item on the agenda? B: The budget. But the finance team has not finished the figures. A: Then let's postpone it and start with the timeline. B: Agreed — I'll send the minutes this evening.

10 idioms and fixed phrases

The 3 mistakes this level makes

• أعتقد أنّ الاتفاق عادل. → أعتقد أنّ الاتفاق عادلٌ. After أنّ the predicate of the clause is nominative: عادلٌ, not the pause form.
• إنّ المشروع ناجح؟ → هل المشروع ناجح؟ إنّ asserts; it cannot do the work of a question, which needs هل or a question word.
• ذهب المدير إلى المؤتمر ووقّع الاتفاق واجتمع مع الشركاء. → ذهب المدير إلى المؤتمر، ووقّع الاتفاق، واجتمع مع الشركاء. In formal prose a long chain of verbs needs commas; running three perfect verbs together without punctuation reads like a draft note.

Your task

Rewrite a decision in formal Arabic Take a real decision from your work (a price change, a deadline, a meeting outcome). Write it three times: one line with إنّ as an assertion, one with أنّ inside a reporting sentence (أشار التقرير إلى أنّ...), and one with a concession (صحيح أنّ... إلا أنّ...). Keep to twenty-five words each.

After B2: the B2+ checkpoint

B2+ is not a certificate — it is the half-step between Arabic B2 and the next level, and it is on this site’s ladder because language schools use it. You are at B2+ when you can run a meeting, read a contract, disagree well. Get there by working the recall drills above and the review deck until nothing on this page surprises you.
