5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Learning Arabic, 11 Mar 2005
This review is from: First 1000 Words in Arabic (Paperback)
I bought this for my seven year old daughter who has really enjoyed it. The book is very clear and fun to use. Any adult learning Arabic would also find this book useful. Each picture has the arabic word written underneath plus the transliteration so you can say the word even if you cannot read arabic. A great way to learn!! Reminds me of Richard Scarry's style with bold, fun pictures and words.

5.0 out of 5 stars An easy read..., 30 Mar 2008
By Kairra (Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: First 1000 Words in Arabic (Paperback)
I actually owned the english version of this book when i was a child, which helped me learn to speak my own language. When i saw this as a deal on a Dummies Guide to Arabic, i jumped at it. It's a very simple way of learning; on every page is a picture of a situation (for instance, rooms in a house) and around the edge of the pages are small pictures of each componant of that scene, and the name for it. So for instance if you were looking at a bathroom scene, around the edge would be a picture of a bath, sink, sponge, shower curtain etc. At the back of a book is an alphabet list and an index of words (useful if you can't tell what a picture is).

These books are fantastic for picking up words fast, and give clear and fun examples of grammar and verbal trends. Although as stated, it can sometimes be unclear as to what the pictures are referring to, it's not hard to either check it up at the back of the book or look the Arabic word up on the net to find the real meaning.

In all, along with the Dummies Guide to Arabic this book has served me very well, and is a pleasure to own. It's also a lovely throwback to my childhood :)

4.0 out of 5 stars First Thousand Words in Arabic, 11 Jun 2009
By Lisbeth (Sudan, Africa) - See all my reviews
So far am pleased with the book. Although probably for children, as an adult trying to get to grips with Arabic, I find it very useful.
