It's been helpful for me starting from the beginning, especially that they write out how arabic words sound phonetically in english alphabet。 I wish there were more pictures and short stories, I think it would help with memorization and make it feel a little less like a textbook It's been helpful for me starting from the beginning, especially that they write out how arabic words sound phonetically in english alphabet。 I wish there were more pictures and short stories, I think it would help with memorization and make it feel a little less like a textbook 。。。more

This was done brilliantly。 This is a great way for someone to learn basic communication skills。 The pronunciation and writing should be done more thoroughly by someone who wishes to learn more。 But I actually liked that there was as little grammar as possible。 It remains interesting and even fun to learn throughout the book。 Flash cards and sticky labels are a great idea to incorporate your learning into every day tasks。 There were english sentences and explanations that contain arabic words if This was done brilliantly。 This is a great way for someone to learn basic communication skills。 The pronunciation and writing should be done more thoroughly by someone who wishes to learn more。 But I actually liked that there was as little grammar as possible。 It remains interesting and even fun to learn throughout the book。 Flash cards and sticky labels are a great idea to incorporate your learning into every day tasks。 There were english sentences and explanations that contain arabic words if you've already learned them, which was a great way to repeat what you've studied。 And lastly, what I loved most was the optimism and the constant compliments the book gives you along the way。 It congratulates you on your progress and on your will to learn a new language。 。。。more

It is a good book in that the stickers are a great way to increase your vocabulary。 And it is arranged well。 And it's very good for learning to write Arabic。 However, you really need to know something about the pronunciation of the Arabic alphabet before using this book or you may find later that you have pronunciation problems。 Apparently the authors saw fit to choose to totally ignore the conventional transliteration scheme for Arabic。 For example, "d" is used to represent the letter dhal, whi It is a good book in that the stickers are a great way to increase your vocabulary。 And it is arranged well。 And it's very good for learning to write Arabic。 However, you really need to know something about the pronunciation of the Arabic alphabet before using this book or you may find later that you have pronunciation problems。 Apparently the authors saw fit to choose to totally ignore the conventional transliteration scheme for Arabic。 For example, "d" is used to represent the letter dhal, which is traditionally transliterated as dh to differentiate it fro dal。 And also, kha, after having been designated as "kh" on page 4, is later transliterated as "k" instead of kh。 K doesn't really represent the sound of kha accurately at all。 I also disagree with the way that ayn and ghayn are transliterated at times。 But of course, that's only my personal opinion。 Still, it makes it difficult for a beginning student when they learn a transliteration scheme that will not serve them well later as they continue their Arabic studies。 Maybe some students aren't concerned with all this, but any serious student of Arabic I think would want to be。 While Arabic is pronounced differently of course in many areas, they should make it more clear where certain sounds are used so that students can tailor their speech accordingly。 The pronunciation scheme is a little off at times and readers need to be aware of this。 If you're just beginning Arabic, get the book "The Arabic Alphabet," "Write It in Atabic" by Khali, or "Mastering Arabic I" by Wightwick and Gaafar first and get a good basis and then use this book to expand your vocabulary。 。。。more
