My Arabic Words Book

by Juma Siddiqa (Illustrator)

Arabic is considered one of the ancient Semitic languages, including Hebrew and Aramaic, and is spoken by roughly 200 million people in a variety of dialects. It is most prominent in the world of Islam, however, whose main texts, like the Qur’an, are written in Arabic. My Arabic Words Book presents each letter of the 28-character alphabet along with a vocabulary word, in both Arabic and English, on each page, making it the perfect introduction to the language. Delightful illustrations bring the vocabulary words to life, and there is a pronunciation guide to help with special characters.
