The Best Introduction to "Correct" Arabic (5/5 people found this helpful)

This is the best book I have studied in modern standard arabic.
I have shown it to and discussed it with some native Arabs from the Levantine(Syria, Lebanon) and Egytian(Cairo) area. They have all whole heartedly recommended it as accurate. Within a few months I could pick up the key points on arabic news channels and could hold understandable and meaningful conversations. I cannot wait to complete the book ( presently about 3/4 of the way) and then get the intermnediate volume shortly to be published. A word of warning - if you dont buy the complete CD course with the book then forget it - use the book as a book end or door stop instead. Arabic is a tough language as the sounds of the letters and vowels and how they change in different conjugations requies a lot of listening to unravel and the 10 CD's accompanying the book ( purchased separately)are absolutely essential. Incidentally it makes reading classical arabic easy as well as the grammar and even most of the vocabulary are virtually identical. Have fun.......!

5/5 stars

Very Good Indeed! (23/24 people found this helpful)

I have several books about learning arabic and this one is the best of all of them. It has a lot of information about arab culture from several arabic countries and info about differences between standard and colloquial arabic. It has a very good thing that is lots of exercises that tests you along the lessons. It presents the grammar in a simple and understandable way that it's very good for begginers. The vocabulary is very good also because it covers the most important things in life(in 30 lessons). I do recomend this book if you are seriously interested in learning this beautiful language.
