So far an autodidact, this book helped me learn the Arabic alphabet (how to write it, speak it, hear it, and read it). The DVDs are really extensive and helpful. However, if you think you can work through this book and then drop yourself into Arabic 3 at the University of Pittsburgh and NOT embarrass yourself on the first day, you are wrong. This book leaves most of the essential vocabulary and grammar to the second book in the series: Al-Kitaab.

This made Arabic very accessible & the DVD was incredibly helpful. Skip the intro, though; it might scare you!

A pretty good introduction to a tough language. The DVDs that come with it are essential for sharpening pronunciation. There's more information in those and in the book than is very easy to absorb, but that's fine. I only wish the words used in the dictation drills were given definitions in English. I wouldn't mind starting to build vocabulary even though my grasp of grammar is nonexistent.

Learning Arabic is hard... This book doesn't make it easier, exactly, but I am actually learning the alphabet and able to write so it must be doing something correctly.

There are a lot of exercises and useful drills, although the DVDs are a little cumbersome to navigate.
Amanda
This Arabic Textbook is sufficient in learning the alphabet, but it uses too much Egyptian Dialect, when learning the basics of a language, you need the root, not the dialect, especially in a college level class.

I joined my Arabic class 4 weeks late... by using Alif Baa i was able to catch up with the class and learn the new stuff at the same time... GREAT BOOK!!!!
