I'd recommend reading through a basic grammar book, grabbing a few dictionaries/phrase
books with sample sentences, head over to BBCArabic armed with Google Translate as needed and work from there. For more day-to-day stuff (i.e. not news) there are themed dictionaries, as well, like Oxford's Picture Dictionary, Harrap's Arabic Pocket Vocabulary and others. Just slowly build your skills one interest at a time, finding listening and reading passages that are authentic. I really have not found any suitable pre-made course that beats this method, but I can't stand textbooks for more than a week or two, so your mileage may vary. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I can assure that every forum member has the right to vote in a poll. I have read in the Technical room that the poll doesn't work. It's possible that a poll gets disabled in a different room. Therefore I have transferred it back to the General Discussion room. It should work now, so please try to vote here.

Thanks for fixing the poll!!! I reviewed Ahlan wa Sahlan and really liked it & I just ordered it. I does appear much more user friendly than Al Kitab! I think my game plan with be to use AWS with the new French Assimil Arabic course. This should present a good mix of grammar with vocabulary! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Hah, I most definitely didn't fix the poll, but I'm glad to see I was wrong to think newbies couldn't vote! Anyway, good luck with AWS, it'll probably one tough cookie to learn Arabic with, but then again, all the textbooks are, and at least, this one has nice pictures and a workbook, haha. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

"Modern Literary Arabic" arrived yesterday. What an amazing book! It describes Arabic syntax so clearly! It is really hard to believe that it is over 50 years old. Thanks for the rec! 2 persons have voted this message useful |
