Gateway to Arabic: Level 2

A classic! I've used this in Arabic teaching and Dr Alawiye did a fantastic job with the Gateway to Arabic range. Book 2 breaks down grammar concepts into comprehensive chunks and is a good book to begin the entry into Arabic grammar. Highly recommended for Arabic teachers and learners.

Easy to follow , , able to write in it , im having lessons and the teacher is using this book so makes it easier to understand as I can look at it . Very in depth and worth every penny

This book/ series seems to be very good indeed. I already knew the basic alphabet, but you really could use this from complete beginner level. My Arabic teacher recommended that I buy this for the Arabic course we are doing and along with tuition you can progress quickly and surely with this series. The layout is great and well structured compared to other books I've used that really confused me and had no comprehensive structure. I do think that you benefit much better by having a teacher but the material you use is also very important. My confidence is growing and I can read, write and speak (we're on book 2 now) Arabic much better. I'm looking forward to progressing more and more. Alhamdoulillah, great series.

My brief experience with learning Arabic seems to be that the emphasis of most courses is on reading and writing, probably due to the large numbers who wish to read and learn the Qu'uran. This book is very good in that respect with pages for practicing the letters in all their forms. Even if you are looking to just learn some phrases for travel you will be exposed to Arabic writing so this will be a good way to get a grip on learning to read. Be aware that Arabic vowels are not letters, they are indicated by marks over/under the consonants and these are omitted in everyday writing so you will also need to learn whole words, this book is therefore very useful but only part of what you will need.

A good basic introduction to forming and reading Arabic in my opinion.

Great book for beginners learning Arabic. Plenty of pictures and explanations to aid learning.

Very happy, this is exactly what i was looking for. A friend recommended it and i am happy she did. Can’t wait to get started and move onto the other books Black marks on photos are from my camera, not the book! Book arrived fine :)

This book is different! Too many books for those learning Arabic are academic and make huge leaps. They assume that simply by presenting the alphabet the learner will be able to read and write by the next page. This series of "Gateway" books proceeds stage by stage with the chance to consolidate and review. As a result what seems like an impenetrable script becomes approachable and the learner can read and write simple words quite quickly. This is an excellent series and, from personal experience, I can highly recommend it!

Helpful and clear

海外の本を買うのは初めてでしたが、すぐ届いてよかったです。なかなか良い本です。

I watched his videos to learn Arabic script so I thought I'd skip the first book. I'm now into this book and enjoying it. There are books out there that teach Arabic from a third party point of view, but this man knows how to teach from a first person point of view and progress his students through vocab and some easy grammar. Now that I can read it, I make my own flashcards on index cards and that gives me something to test myself with vocab. For pronunciation I use Google Translate which gets me there for the most part. However from reading the script you can figure it out yourself, Google is just an assistant in place of a teachers voice in case I may be pronouncing something weird. This book is laid out logically and is great for a beginner that has learned the script by watching his videos on youtube. I'm looking forward to doing the extention book and getting a good base in basic Arabic Vocab. You learn basic household items, animals, colors, fruits and vegetables, transport methods, numbers and singular / plurals. Great for beginners. But remember to learn to read Arabic script first.

el libro ya lo conocia y cumple todas las expectativas pues es una parte dentro de un todo que me gusta igualmente

first of all the package took forever to come and secondly some of the translations are incorrect. i'm sorry but i can't recommend this book
