Summary: Best Arabic alphabet resource I've ever seen
Comment: After browsing, borrowing & buying, numerous resources to learn Arabic, this is truly the best that I've ever seen! Several of the advantages are a font large enough to differentiate the letters and symbols, clear explanations of the letters, and individual discussion of the letters with practice recognition. The best feature by far is that there are step-by-step illustrations of how to write each letter rather than simply assuming that you can look at the letter and figure it out yourself. It's just like learning penmanship as a kid...with lines and all. They show you how to do it so you can succeed!! I've never seen another Arabic book for adults that did that.
The book is small and older, but by far the best book for learning the basics before going on to things like vocabulary & grammar. If you are truly new to Arabic, start with this book for real success!

Summary: Beginner's Necessity
Comment: This book was very helpful. It very methodically leads the reader through the alphabet, both recognizing and writing, and the initial description of the language is clear and illuminating. Although I learned Russian fluently as a (young) adult, Arabic is proving to be a challenge; it would be much more difficult if I had to rely on inexact transliterations using the Latin alphabet. I recommend it in addition to a full course with audio (Alif Baa is good to train your ear, and Al-Kitaab is well laid out). By itself, as another reviewer noted, it lacks without audio. But the sooner you master the alphabet, the easier to memorize new vocabulary and pronounce new words.

Summary: Taking away the mystery
Comment: I have learned some other semitic languages and was always interested in learning Arabic. I considered the alphabet/script to be too big a stumbling block. This book is simply very well done - elegantly laid out and intelligently arranged. It made it very easy for me to learn the alphabet as a gateway to learning Arabic. It is much better to get a book like this and learn the alphabet before actually trying to learn the language than to jump into a teach yourself book. I recommend it for everyone who wants to learn Arabic - master the alphabet first!
