This work aims to make learning Arabic as easy and simple as possible. Assuming no previous knowledge of the language, it should be suitable for beginners, but also for those who already have a grounding in the basics. This self-teaching tool can also be used as a source-book and instructs readers on how to speak, read and write modern Arabic. The book consists of 12 chapters, each includes a number of lessons - a dialogue, a reading comprehensive text, as well as exercises - dealing with a particular aspect of Arabic grammar. Each lesson is fully explained in English and the texts in the first three chapters are fully transliterated to facilitate the task of learning the Arabic writing system.
Yousif Haddad was born in Baghdad. He has taught Arabic at colleges in the UK for many years and has devised the Arabic curriculum which is taught nation-wide.
