Learn to write in Arabic

In Arabic, there are different levels of language. The written language, which is studied in this book, is literary Arabic, sometimes also called classical Arabic or even modern or standard Arabic. It is the language of the Quran, classical poetry, literature and the media. The Arabic plume consists of 28 consonants and three long vowels. Each consonant is accompanied by a vowel which is placed above or below the consonant.

Arabic speakers are in great demand in the United States, due to the country's political commitments to the Middle East, but only 25 percent of non-native speakers know the language in enough detail to function as translators, interpreters, analysts, or field agents. Arabic Character Writing For Dummies helps you write this language clearly and correctly.

I'm a musician, author, and public high school Latin teacher.

I'm the author of Intermediate Arabic for Dummies. On my website, www.keithmassey.com, I provide free resources for anyone who would like to learn Arabic, Latin, Spanish, or Romanian.

I'm originally from Madison, Wisconsin, where I got my PhD in Biblical Hebrew and Arabic, with my undergrad in Latin and Greek.

My action adventure novels follow the life of Andrew Valquist, soldier, scholar, and spy.

I myself served for four years as an Arabic linguist at the Top Secret National Security Agency (NSA) after 9/11. I was awarded the Global War on Terrorism Civilian Service Medal for service performed in Iraq in 2004.

As a result of my unique background, I am able to tell action adventure stories with authentic details of espionage trade craft.

Start with A Place of Brightness for the story of how Andrew and his twin were trained in their youth for battle, only to find they would need their skills when least expected.

Continue with Amor Vincit Omnia to follow Andrew as he begins work at the Top Secret National Security Agency himself.

Next in the series is the novel Next Stop: Spanish, in which Andrew Valquist and his nephew are pulled into international intrigue while on a vacation in Spain. In the course of the story, the reader incrementally learns enough Spanish to perform a basic conversation, while simultaneously experiencing an espionage adventure.

The latest novel in the series, In Saecula Saeculorum, features four students of Andrew Valquist who are unwittingly trained for a mission set in ancient Rome, to which these four young people must travel to retrieve crucial information to save the world from an imminent catastrophe.
