Reviews

[Angelar]

This compact little volume is a fantastically accessible introduction to the Arabic alphabet and gave me a nice head start before my Classical Arabic class began. They have this at the Albuquerque library!

Unbelievably helpful - best book to start off with.

Excellent book if you have great memorization skills. Though, it would be best if the Arabic alphabet With their pronunciation is included, too.
