Reader Reviews:
Excellent Book (4/4 people found this helpful)
Very very highly recommended.
Good for beginners and those who can read the Naskh script. I had previously found handwriting really hard to interpret but now I can see much more clearly. Fun to do and really easy to follow; it's set out at a perfect pace and you can finish the book quickly. I love this. More than 10/10.
Exactly what it says ... (14/14 people found this helpful)
Toptrumper from Palgrave - takes the reader through the riq'a script (the more fluent script used by adult), outlining the differences between the aforementioned and the naskh script - the printed script taught to children and beginners in Arabic. Somewhat different, and it appears moreso the more fluent one becomes (early days in studying, could be wrong).
Takes you through the letters one by one - ample exercises (written IN the book, hurrah) to practice the newly-learnt skills, with vocab being introduced here and there throughout. An excellent resource for the total beginner to Arabic - highly reccomended.
