If learning Arabic this seems to be one of the standards however I’d argue there are lots of conversational scenarios that will be difficult to recall words for in the real world as they are very rare scenarios for most students of language. Generally though it’s a pretty good way to start your learning. Note to other students: you need to know how to read Arabic to get through this.

This is the text book that I am currently using for my Arabic class. Each chapter has 3 varied dialogues dealing with the chapter's theme. It has helped me quite a bit in acquiring Arabic. It is considered a very good book for beginners to Arabic.
