Shame about the Arabic!

This could potentially have been a great book had it not been for the poor quality Arabic used. There are some significant linguistic errors and some vocabulary presumably incorrectly imported from Moroccan colloquial Arabic. It's very good however for teaching key phrases and verbs in a clear consise way and getting to the essentials of language enabling rapid acquisition of very basic comversational skills. The stickers are also a great idea. My advice to the author would be to employ a language editor with even a high school knowledge of classical Arabic to go over the errors and fix them, making it a great book!

This book is well worth purchasing!
Easy to read, colourful and informative. Its great to learn those basic Arabic phrases needed to get by on holiday.
It covers colours, money, nationality etc to mention a few things.
Crosswords are used to help learn the vocab even more effectively.
And the best bit - it has sticky labels which u can attach/reattach to objects around your home. And dual language flash cards.
All in all, a good purchase and suitable for a beginner.
No previous knowledge is needed, its more aimed at teaching words in Arabic script than the translitteration, but both are covered.
