Ebook Arabic

[Eloisa Stawasz]

Thedistribution of print books in the Arab market has always been problematic, due in part to a lack of bookstores. With 300 million Arabic speakers, the market is potentially large, but it is divided into twenty-two countries burdened by import restrictions, different government censorship regimes, and occasional piracy. Ebooks have the potential to eliminate at least some of those problems, but so far there have been two major obstacles to ebook growth in the Arab world: technical/logistical issues and a reluctance of publishers to take the plunge into digital publishing. Fortunately, according to digital publishing consultant and trainer Mahmoud Aboulfotouh, that story has changed dramatically in just the last year, thanks to the growing adoption of EPUB3 and the involvement of some big players in the Egyptian book business.

One of the reasons for the success of Kotobi is the fact that personal credit cards are not as widespread in Egypt as they are in US and Europe. Instead, people can use their phone credit to buy books and read them on their phones. The site offers iPad and Android apps, allowing readers to buy books on the Kotobi platform and have them downloaded automatically to their phone.

Learning to speak a new language is exciting; learning to write a new language is even more exciting! It will open new worlds for you. So, dig into these tips and advice for learning how to master the Arabic alphabet easily - at ArabicPod101 we make it easy, fun and relevant for you!

Starting anything from scratch can be challenging, especially if you learn how to write in a language completely different from your own. It is really like navigating through a territory that is completely unknown to you.

However, this need not be a big hurdle or a problem! At ArabicPod101, we introduce you to Arabic writing in simple, easy-to-follow steps, and you can ask for advice or help anywhere along the way. It is important to master the Arabic alphabet completely from the start.

Arabic uses the Arabic alphabet as its writing system. The Arabic alphabet originated from Aramaic, and although Arabic inscriptions appear most commonly after the birth of Islam in the seventh century , the origin of the Arabic alphabet lies deeper in time.

The Nabataeans, who established a kingdom in what is modern-day Jordan from the second century B.C., were Arabs. They wrote with a highly cursive Aramaic-derived alphabet that would eventually evolve into the Arabic alphabet. The Nabataeans endured until the year 106 A.D., when they were conquered by the Romans.

The Arabic alphabet is used in Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Pashto, Baloch, Malay, Hausa in West Africa, Mandinka, Swahili in East Africa, Balti, Brahui, Panjabi in Pakistan, Kashmiri, Sindhi in India and Pakistan, Arwi in Sri Lanka, Uyghur in China, Kazakh in China, Kyrgyz in China, Azerbaijani in Iran, Kurdish in Iraq and Iran, and the language of the former Ottoman Empire.

If you know the Arabic alphabet, Hebrew, Amharic, Persian, and Turkish may be easier to understand and learn also, mainly because these come from the same family, or use the same alphabet system, also there is a lot of common words between them, so it all connects.

Arabic Alphabet ChartTop The prospect of learning a new language can be scary, especially when that language has an entirely different alphabet than you are accustomed to using in your Native language. The Arabic alphabet is unique and learning this alphabet will be a primary aspect of your early Arabic lessons.

It is not impossible to learn how to speak Arabic without understanding the alphabet. While you are learning Arabic phrases and vocabulary you will be seeing the words transliterated, meaning that they are taken out of the Arabic alphabet and put into English lettering so that they can be understood by those learning the language.

Of course, you can also learn how to speak Arabic by listening to Native speakers. An Arabic podcast or Arabic television are great ways to immerse yourself in the language so that it can be learned more quickly, especially as a supplement to traditional written Arabic lessons.

Though early lessons may utilize phonetic spellings to help you learn Arabic vocabulary, to truly be able to communicate in the language, including reading text in real-life applications, you will need to understand the Arabic alphabet. This will help you to read Arabic texts, including an Arabic dictionary, which will help you to continue learning vocabulary.

The Arabic alphabet consists of 28 letters. Because these letters generally correspond to consonants, the alphabet is classified technically as an abjad. There are two sequences for the alphabet. One is derived from the Phoenecian alphabet and is used only when lettering is required because letters in this ordering are also used as numbers. The second ordering is used when both letters and numbers are required.

As you are learning the Arabic alphabet you must also begin mastering other aspects of understanding and communicating in the language, including Arabic accents and grammar rules. This is due to the fact that short vowels are almost always omitted in the written version of the language. Though not necessarily the case in educational settings, such as formal Arabic lessons because the vowels are important to proper grammar, this will be the case in most other forms of written language so understanding of the language will help readers put the words in context so they can be interpreted properly.

When a word begins with a Moon letter, the definite article is pronounced as spelled: al-

But, when a word begins with a Sun letter, (one that uses the tip of the tongue), the definite article assimilates the sound of the Sun letter. i.e. at-tayaara instead of al-tayaara.

We will indicate this assimilation in our romanization.

Also, once you start recognizing symbols and words, you will be encouraged by your own progress and motivated to learn even faster. Even just learning the basics of the alphabet will allow you to start recognizing simple Arabic words, and it will feel great!

Studying video or audio lessons online is a great way to learn a language because students can play and rewind sections as many times as needed until the lesson is mastered. But when you review the same Arabic lessons again in PDF format, an incredible thing happens: your retention dramatically improves! Thanks to Time Spaced Repetition, seeing the information again in written format helps reinforce the information in your mind and improves both retention and recall. The benefits of learning Arabic using PDF lessons quickly add up to significant time savings for you, your data plan, and your dream of learning a new language!

With a language, like with anything you have to learn from scratch, having a few mnemonic devices handy are key to learning it fast. A mnemonic device is basically any method or technique that helps you to retain or commit something to memory more easily.

Writing something down with a pen also seems to engrave it in the brain in a way that nothing else does. As an added benefit, it gives you the satisfaction of seeing a new language in your own writing!

This technique would involve saying the Arabic letter out loud, and then thinking of a word in your own language that sounds the same as the letter. That would then create a phonic association that should make it easier for you to remember the letter. Better even if the association is something you can draw or picture.

Try to write words from your own language in Arabic, and ask your friendly ArabicPod101 teachers for feedback! Or post them on the forum and see if anyone can read them. You will be so pleased with yourself when you start writing words that are readable and recognizable by native speakers.
