Helped my wife in her studies May 4, 2008
This was a gift for my wife and although I cannot offer too many specifics, it appears to have greatly helped her in her Arabic studies. If you have a family member or friend who is studying Arabic, this may be an ideal gift.
I wish I could offer more input on the content, but since I'm not knowledgeable about the alphabet, I can only provide information on how helpful the material was for my spouse.
i would definitely recommend March 9, 2008
i really like this book. the writer teaches you some very important basics and he does it in a way that a friend would. the book is thin and lightweight so the thought of getting through it isnt depressing! Basically you read the book and get the basics and all thats left is practice practice practice! Also helpful to buy some audio lessons in arabic to hear exactly how the leeters should be pronounced.
A real help to a a learner of Arabic January 8, 2008
It is an immensely useful book for self study. Here's a professionel linguistic and pedagogical guidance towards surmounting the barrier the Arabic alphabet presents to an English speaking westerner. It's OK there's no sound cd.First priority being reading and possibly writing.
However it would be nice with a little more reading stuff for practice at the end of the book. Thank you for that book.

The Arabic Alphabet: How to Read & Write It by Nicholas Awde, Putros Samano
Brilliant! December 11, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This quick read does a great job of showing the reader what they need to know about the Arabic alphabet. The method is step by step and builds on what was previously taught. The authors also take a very no pressure approach to writing. The book does not really address grammar or speaking, but a student will definitely be able to write and read Arabic phonetically.
Best starting point for learning Arabic June 24, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
When I first starting learning arabic on my own this was the first book I bought after checking many other titles. If you are going to start out by yourself this is the perfect book to choose and it is cheap. It covers just enough without confusing you too much and introduces the material in an accessible and concise manner. The key to learning how to read and write is practice, practice, and much more practice, and that is why the simplicty of this book is important in my point of view. It gives you the structure to learn and gets out of your way, the rest is up to how dedicated you are.
