 • Great For Beginners.
03 June, 2007

If you are interested in learning Arabic, I will suggest you start with this book hands down. This will teach you everything you need to know about writing the script. most books will show you how to write it as it is typed on the computer. but this book will show you how native writers actually hand write it, for speed. So far the best book I have come across. Highly recommended.

 • Excellent Concise And Comprehensive....
11 October, 2006

I am a novice student of a variety of languages, but enjoy getting some familiarity with each. In particular, I think Arabic script is quite beautiful and as everyone knows the language is complex, rich and difficult to learn to write. This book systematically goes through the steps to learn Arabic script in a very painless way. It doesn't cover grammar, vocabulary or any other dimensions of the language. However, it will have you writing the characters correctly in no time. I looked at a number of books on this topic and for the money this is a great bet. I don't think you will be disappointed with this book.

 • Excellent Guide To Arabic Script
06 November, 2007

This is an excellent guide for learning how to write in Arabic script. It is a short book which skips on most other elements of the language. However, this short (and thus encouraging) book covers the two prevalent forms of Arabic script - naskh and ruq'a, typeset and handwritten forms respectively. All 28 letters of the Arabic alphabet are covered, along with a pronunciation guide and numbers 1 through 10 (which is appropriate given the focus on simply writing/reading). The guides are very detailed and obvious, giving clear examples of not only what the letters look like, but also how to effectively write them (i.e. where to start, finish, and lift your pen). There is practice space in the book to both trace examples and then practice on your own; however, it is probably a good idea to have your own paper and access to a photocopier if you wish to trace the more complicated symbols more than a couple times. Presented in a compact and well organized form this book provides an excellent way to learn to read and write Arabic script. I'd highly recommend it for anyone that is looking to polish their skills or learn from scratch. And with practical examples and further practice guides this book will take you well beyond simply writing out the alphabet and numbers.

 • Joyous Way To Learn
29 April, 2008

I skimmed this last night while in bed in preparation for formal Arabic classes and I couldnt be more pleased. Previously I skimmed Hippocrenes Arabic and was completely overwhelmed. However this is a very friendly introduction. The authors hold your hand and explain everything clearly. Highly recommended.
