Arabic Character Writing For Dummies

This is a great book for learning the alphabet and the different connectors for the various letters when forming words. However, I have friends that are fluent in Arabic and the words included in the book are not correct some of the time, so I would show hesitancy on using this book for word pronunciation and writing them out. So this is a great book for learning how to write and identify letters, but you'll want to skip the learning/memorization of the words that are provided.

Easy to understand

The Arabic Character Writing For Dummies is basically an exercise practice book to help you learn how to write Arabic. This is a thin volume workbook. It would work well as a companion to Arabic for Dummies. The book explains how to write each character and then gives you ample practice space.It is well written and easy to understand.I do wish it were a bit longer, but for the price, this is a good book. If you are learning Arabic, or are interested in learning Arabic, I do recommend this easy to understand workbook for adults.If you found my review helpful, please let Amazon know by clicking the helpful button below!Disclosure: I received a sample product from the Amazon Vine program for an honest and unbiased review.

The written language, which is studied in this book, is literary Arabic, sometimes also called classical Arabic or even modern or standard Arabic. It is the language of the Quran, classical poetry, literature and the media. The Arabic plume consists of 28 consonants and three long vowels. Each consonant is accompanied by a vowel that is placed above or below the consonant. For my fiance, Arabic is one of the newest languages that he is teaching himself (he can speak a total of 7 languages!) and since college, he has started forgetting some of his Arabic. This book has a good basis on the fundamentals of the written language, as well as basic conversational skills. Repetition, the key to learning anything new, is the primary means in these books. However, as you progress, they reinforce the words and language skills learned earlier by forcing you to incorporate them as you get farther along. He says the book has great flashcards for studying. He learns like a child, usually a visual learner. The alphabet is presented in a way where you can learn the different writing positions of each letter and the pronunciation. I go to this book all the time for reference purposes.

The book has everything you need to learn to write Arabic characters. The introduction makes it quite clear that you need to practice, practice, practice and that there aren't shortcuts if you want to know how the characters connect. The book is large and offers plenty of room to practice though you'll probably want a notebook to help practice as well. It igves the names of the letters and what they sound like in English, as well.
