5.0 out of 5 stars Essential if you want to master the written language, 7 May 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Arabic Alphabet: How to Read and Write it (Paperback)
I started learning Arabic using the Linguaphone PDQ Arabic course. I struggled to learn letters and words. I bought this book and was amazed at my progress. It made all the difference it explains fully and methodically how each of the letters is formed and changes in use. Letters are grouped into similar types. It was the key to klick the spoken word into written form. You still need to study the book and practice. I finally bought Linguaphones Arabic in Action V2, which is superb. I can now read and write arabic as well as speak it. All only in limited quantities, limited by what I have learned. I have only been learning for a couple of months in my spare time. Without this book, I would have given up by now.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of those really useful books, 29 April 2005
This review is from: The Arabic Alphabet: How to Read and Write it (Paperback)
This isn't a physically big book, but it's well laid out, clear and the sort of book that'll you'll wear out because it's so good. The authors start off with something like "read the first bit but don't worry if you don't get it, we'll refer back to it and all will become clear" and it does. You soon find yourself easily transliterating words and you can pronounce them quite well even if you don't know what they mean and you've never seen them before. At the price, you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant and invaluable, 7 Feb 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: The Arabic Alphabet: How to Read and Write it (Paperback)
If you have any interest in Arabic, either as a student, traveller, or simple dilletante linguist, this is a must-have book.
A letter-by-letter introduction to all the characters in the seemingly impossible Arabic alphabet will have you reading and writing Arabic words in days. As a preliminary to any sort of multimedia or home Arabic studies, simply a must: most Arabic language programs give the script itself short shrift, which can be fatal to beginners.
