Hi,
Can anyone recommend books to read with vowel markings? I want childrens books, but not those intended for 3-5 year olds. Most of the 9+ books do not include vowel markings, such as Harry Potter. Though I can manage with a dictionary, I have no idea of how to pronounce the words. I just want to increase reading comprehension and find sentences for my SRS. I'm high beginner/low intermediate. The Chronicle of Narnia Arabic editions seem to have vowel markings based on the title, but I don't know if the actual passages do. Anyone know? http://www.amazon.com/Magicians-Nephew-Narnia-Arabic/dp/9059 500156/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263605447&sr=8-1 Anyway...what are you guys reading? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It's easier to learn to read without tashkeel than to find interesting books using it.
I've only seen it in dictionaries and books for young children. I think it's kind of a difficult task to learn to read Arabic without learning to listen, as well. Eventually you develop an ability to recognize patterns and guess pronunciation to words you don't know, but until then, it's just a matter of listening and reading to the same words and matching them up as you go along. After a few months you won't miss tashkeel at all. Don't sweat it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

www.naturalarabic.com?
I haven't studied Arabic, but since that site contains native-level content like news broadcasts, I'm assuming it has no vowels marked in. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

apparition is right
I think you should read Arabic with tashkeel till you get used to read it without I mean as long as you are beginner that's the best maybe when you get to the next level you won't need vowel markings you can guess the right pronunciation of the words 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I know this is not exactly what you are looking for, but someone else on this site posted this great link where you can paste text into the box and it will add the taskkeel marks for you.
