Summary: Excellent Series for learning Arabic
Comment: As I was instructed by Kristen Brustad and Mahmoud Al-Batal (two of the authors), I may be slightly biased; However, this series of books and methodology are an excellent, comprehensive way to learn Arabic reading and writing, along with differences in dialects and cultures as well as a solid basis for learning the spoken language. The accompanying audio-tapes will add to the learning process for those who aren't immersed in an Arabic speaking environment. Of course, conversation practice and immersion are still the best way to truly learn the spoken language. I would highly recommend this book, as well as it's predecessor, Alif-Baa (an introduction to Arabic where you learn the alphabet and some basic vocabulary and grammar) to anyone wanting a good place to start learning Arabic. The books make learning Arabic fun and relatively easy, considering most "Westerners" initially find the language quite intimidating.
