Product Information

Formerly the Director of the ‘Institute of Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language’, Islamic University, Madinah; Grammatical terms used by Western Arabists are only given in Arabic. I think it's great that the student is being taught to think in terms of the Arabic grammar, but I think it's also useful to know how forms are described in other Western grammars. (Terms like 'noun', 'verb', & 'adjective' are used quite freely in the English translation, but we never learn that English-speaking Arabists refer to الفعل المثال as 'assimilated verbs'. It's probably better to think of the grammatical class by the Arabic term, but if one's using an English-language anyhow, it seems useful to have at least been introduced to the term by which this class will be identified in the primary English-language grammars.)

With a teacher, I think that this could be an amazing textbook as it stands. For self-study, this is a well-thought-out textbook that has too many flaws to make it recommendable.
