This book is written to target beginner and intermediate learners of the Arabic language, it is a comprehensive book covering a wide range of basic nouns, verbs, common expressions and personal tips that the author used to achieve a very good knowledge of the language. The Arabic text is written in a relatively large text than the English text to help unaccustomed beginners to assimilate into the Arabic language. Also, all the Arabic words in this book have the vowel symbols which are added above or below the letters to achieve vowel sounds. Arabic is usually written without these symbols, but it is beneficial to learn them especially for beginners.
This is a very good book for beginner to intermediate learners of the Arabic language. It has the perfect balance of grammar to give you an all-round feeling of the language.
The author has a friendly voice and sets the perfect pace for learning.
A small quick guide, not aimed at the absolute beginner. However the explanations of verbs and basic grammar are well done and very helpful pronoun charts are included. I'm terrible at language learning but even I was conjugation basic verbs after about 2 hours. Well worth the effort of reading and practicing.
