Much Better Than the Title Suggests

Teach Yourself Arabic" sounds like a hokey tourist phrase book or something. Indeed, the "Teach Yourself" series varies a lot, some of the languages are poorly treated, some better. This one is a gem. It is not trivial tourist phrases, but actually goes into grammar, provides good reading comprehension exercises and a fairly well-developed vocabulary. Includes some very useful points like word shapes, a key tool for learning Arabic with its root and measure system. If you are studying Arabic in school, this makes a great supplement. Some of the confusion in textbooks is cleared up here. You need a seperate book to learn the Arabic script, and Awde's "The Arabic Alphabet" is the best.

Wonderful

The book and audio teaches the student to speak and read the Arabic language at his or her own pace. The only complaint I have is that there is not much emphasis on grammar. Still, great vocabulary builder. By the time I finished, I could read and speak conversational Arabic.
