| [slm] We are actually using those books in our arabic class :) I like them. The back has the instructions in english and the front has the arabic chapters. You will understand the basic concepts of grammer well, but you will need a supplement for Vocab... There isn't much there to work with. Each section has some new words at the end..but not nearly enough. It doesn't cover anything on Balagha, and more advanced topics. But I think its a great starter kit. Sis, Maliha :-) [wlm] |
