Arabic a difficult language? Not with this book! This unique book is for everyone looking for an effective method in learning reading and writing the Arabic script as well as building a solid vocabularyin Modern Standard Arabic. Unlike all other books for learning Arabic, this book gradually builds on the knowledge of the Arabic alphabet and is accompanied by audio recordings. It is colorful, with pictures and visual cues,which makes it user-friendly and intuitive, and thus perfectly suited for self-study. Before you know it, you find yourself being able to read and write while having learnt hundreds of new words.

However, I was up for trying something different, so I decided to do what most people would when learning a new language: I enrolled in a school, knowing I would have to submit to the study programme decided by a teacher.

My biggest fear about joining a language school was that I would be forced to go trawl through a fixed curriculum, have limited speaking time, and learn at the speed of the slowest student in the class. As it happened, the opposite was true.

I believe strongly that while a teacher can guide you, and give you lots of great language input, the learning has to occur outside the classroom, either by speaking with people, reading books, or reviewing your notes.

Because relatively few foreigners ever go to the trouble to learn Thai. By learning even the basics of Thai, you will immediately endear yourself to the locals, gain their respect and admiration, and transform your experience of Thailand and Thai people.

(There are a number of features of the Thai language which are generally ignored in English, such as marking social status, or maintaining the correct register. However, as a beginner, you can put these off till later!)

After an initial period of adjustment, learning the tone of words in Thai quickly becomes second nature. You hear the most common conversational words over and over again, and that makes it easy to learn to speak Thai and become familiar with the tones.

While in Bangkok, I was lucky enough to be treated to a private masterclass by famous polyglot Stu Jay Raj, in which he dissected my Thai pronunciation and demonstrated how not to learn to speak Thai without sounding like a typical foreigner.

Whether you should learn the Thai script depends on your circumstances and goals. In my two-week project, for example, I decided not to learn, because I felt the time was better spent on conversation.

Unfortunately it can be extremely hard to find books with vowel marks. But the good news is, I have compiled enough books for you here to practice your reading till you wont need the Harakat anymore. InshaAllah.

These 40 Hadith hand-picked by Imam Al-Nawawi are so popular and recommended for beginners and advanced students alike because they cover many basic concepts of our Deen across many sciences. Try to understand as well as memorize as many as you can from these Ahadith. Download here

These 3 books are by Sheikh Muhammed ibn Abdul Wahhab, on Aqeedah or Islamic Creed. These are important books to read when setting out to seek knowledge as they teach the most fundamental concepts of Tawheed very thoroughly. I recommend that you proceed in the order mentioned with these three books as the first two are very short and simple while Kitab al-Tawheed is a bit longer. It helps to listen to the explanations or recorded duroos of these books which you can find online.

A few months of hard work with these books should be enough for you to move on to reading without Tashkeel. Once you do, there is no turning back. There are more that 1000 years of books and wisdom waiting for you to explore.

The book is unbiased and objective. Language is comprehensible and accurate. However, the mode of language must be level down when explaining complex grammatical properties such as verb inflection and phonotactics. Nevertheless, dialogues are simple and clear and the vocabulary is more or less organized.

The procedure of learning is not controlled and the learner is exposed to multiple forms of surface similarity without deep guidance toward merging within a specified well-oriented system of one dialect. The author seems to try to build a ceiling of Intermediate-Low for Novice-Mid students by providing idiomatic expressions, collocations, and some catchy verbal phrases in order to build an easy-going dialogue for the student. However, Novice-Mid students require language support in terms of sentence building while such process is hardly achieved alone through short dialogues manifested with a list of words & expressions. Sentence requires continuous drilling exercises of nominal sentences, verb forms (more focus on the present tense), gender forms, noun-adjective pairs, and preliminary paragraphing. Those grammatical properties must be the core target for beginners, so they can be accustomed to the formation of the dialect in general. I agree with the author that dialogues are significant in the learning process, but only in case they are consistent with higher properties as drilling formation, grammaticality, and building phrases. All of those properties must be specific in belonging to certain system. Since idiomaticity of expressions seems to be prevail the theme of the lessons, presenting multiple systems (EA, LA, MSA, etc.) might appear to be justifiable based on the cultural similarity. On the contrary, the student might be able to follow the dialogue and its items through miscellaneous date of different dialects, s/he is still not adhering to a specific drilling of pronunciation and structure

At the beginning of the book, the author addresses three methodologies of teaching Arabic that have been debatable in the filed of second language acquisition. The first methodology is teaching the spoken dialect after teaching MSA. I suppose that the idea behind this methodology is that since MSA is the formal language of books and writing, the student is supposed to capture the higher system of language, and then leaning toward the spoken/vernacular dialect. In principle, MSA is assumed to support the learning of the spoken variant. However, it has been shown that learners of Arabic perceive the two varieties differently. As mentioned earlier, the linguistic differences at the level of phonology, syntax, and lexicon render the learning of each variant although all variants stand in similar social setting of history, religion, and origin. However, there still must be a strong establishment of the language skills of the spoken variant with the proper documentation, so the dialect is sufficiently legitimate to be taught at the beginning of the process of learning. Once the ceiling for learning the dialect by explicating the proper material for its language skills, the educator would be able to direct the learning process to the native level of the language and guide the learner to the actual course of communication. At higher levels where writing, media, and newspapers are targeted, MSA is required to be taught since MSA embodies the language of formal education and target language for the learner to be involved to the diglossia of the Arab world. It is reasonable to approach from the communicative level (dialect) to the formal level (MSA). The second methodology is the one adopted in this book where MSA and the dialect ( or a group of dialects) are taught together. As discussed earlier, this type of learning seems quite confusing and hard to grasp among the students as long as they are exposed to different types of systems and they are not guided to a specific system of phonology, syntax, or semantics

It is always imperative to be consistent in presenting language material rather than presenting miscellaneous data, though might be related to each other, but renders the language processing less disciplined. The flexible option is where you teach MSA and the dialect separately. It sounds like a good move where the exposed material is specified to a certain linguistic system. Nevertheless, it is important to build up a functional connection between the two variants. Leading the learner into the linguistic system of dialect will guide him/her into social communication, popular culture, and social media settings.

The text has no major significant issues with support materials including images or tables. Still, the book should provide more purposeful images that might help the learner to go through the vocabulary of lessons. It is always advantageous to have supplementary images to support the theme of a certain dialogue. Tables have no caused no distortion per say; however, more effort into conducting table in stylistic always motivates the learner to study the material and induces encouragement. Colorful imaging is always is a useful tool in online textbook as well.
