Title: Teach Yourself Arabic Complete Course by Jack Smart, Frances Altorfer ISBN: 0-07-143017-2 Publisher: Teach Yourself Pub. Date: 01 March, 2004 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $18.95 |

Summary: Much improved 2nd edition!
Comment: As a fan of the Teach Yourself series, I was disappointed with the 1992 version of this course. The text followed an awkward path; surprisingly un-conversational relative to other TY courses, and the recordings were simply uninspiring.
I picked-up the 2002 edition a couple of months ago and have found a much improved, completely re-written text featuring quick, relevant dialogues, a better print layout, adequate explanations of usage particulars, and more lively audio recordings.
Arabic is not an easy language to learn without extensive audio recordings. Unfortunately, the Pimsleur series has yet to produce a decent standard Arabic course. I recommend Rosetta Stone or Transparent Language Arabic software, but if these are not available to you as learning resources, this edition of Teach Yourself Arabic seems adequate for the more-convenient book & cassette approach.

Summary: attention relatives and friends of muslim inmates
Comment: This THIRD edition has two CD audio-discs included
which will be rejected or discarded by the CO @ CF
The older, discontinued (out-of-print) 2nd edition
has two CS audioCASSETTES which are normally Halal
in the eyes of the ever-watchful Package Room CO's
?May I wholeheartedly recommend an alternative? It
is still possible to supply your loved one with an
audioCASSETTE D-I-Y Arabic learning course; get it
by typing the following 10-digit ISBN: 0743529413.
You type (or hightlight & copy & paste) 0743529413
into Amazon's general "Search" box and hit "enter"
Make sure that you order a NEW set (of 4) tapes. I
realize that "used" sets cost less BUT the Package
Room of the Correctional Facility probably notices
on the packing slip that the mint-condition audio-
cassettes are listed as "used" by the Amazon third
party merchant. That would make the inside of them
(the hollow within the shell) S-U-S-P-E-C-T. There
is no need to chisel on the below-20-bucks cost to
risk getting the (perfectly good but "used") tapes
returned or trashed. "Nuff said RE alternatives to
CDs for institutionalized American Muslims. Myself
am a traditional Roman Catholic; nevertheless, God
is ONE (please let's not quibble), and some people
who wish to befriend an American/Canadian detainee
or convict (who has time to learn Arabic) must buy
paperback books or audiocassettes for the material
to be allowed inside the pokey. Hope this helps to
enable a devout North American to learn Arabic for
a better understanding of the Qu'ran. Feedback OK.

Summary: Best Arabic Learning Book Proven In Baghdad
Comment: I was a recon soldier with 1-13 Armor batalion in Baghdad. My mom sent me this book and I studied it religiously for about two hours a day and it got me readind and speaking it in a semi-effective manner in just a few weeks. It is written in such a way that teaches how to speak it well. I am currently in college at the top of my arabic class. We use "AL-KITAAB FII AL TAALUM AL ARABIYYA" It's not that good. This is, the only thing is I recommend a book to learn script to supplement this one. Remember to study hard too this isn't a freebie. GOOD LUCK.
