Write It in Arabic: A Workbook and Step-by-Step Guide to Writing the Arabic Alphabet

I got this edition after I decided to further the Arabic I was learning to write and read. This is a perfect book to learn with and I noticed it was different from the first edition in the extra pages about the vowel marks the kasra, fathaa and damma, and other signs shadda, tanween, madda and sukoon, part of tashkeel, and the handwriting excercises and puzzles and more of them. When I tried out the handwriting exercises they were very simple and easy to do and there was no difficulty in doing any of them. Very convenient and fun way to improve the language was able to work on the exercises put it down and come back and pick it up later. When I completed the exercises I realized it gave me a better understanding of the language right away and it's is easy to take with you on the go and durable. There is complex sentence structuring in some of the handwriting exercises. Recommend:)

I am an Arabic and Islamic studies teacher and teach private and public classes on Arabic grammar. I would always face the problem of poor Arabic writing and frequent mistakes and blunders from the students due to not having a proper, systematic instructional text that could help in this regard. However, "Write it in Arabic" was the answer to that problem. It is simple, straight-forward and practical. I love it and the students love it. Very USER-FRIENDLY. I think it should be included in all beginners Arabic curriculums.

I am interested in learning Arabic (knowing nothing about it at all) and purchased this book as a companion to Ultimate Arabic Beginner-Intermediate (Book and CD Set). I am glad I bought the book, because it was very clear and easy to understand, while the written Arabic component of the so-called introductory Ultimate Arabic Beginner-Intermediate text basically zooms from what (in the Canadian public school system) might be around a grade 2 to Grade 11 level in the first three chapters. Write It in Arabic offers a very clear guide to Arabic script, presented in alphabetical order. It explains the characters, provides five examples of different words using each letter, and offers many exercises for practising (including ones you can trace, which is not as crazy as it might sound). It also shows the differences between printed script (as in newspapers) and handwritten script - again, very useful. It was frustrating, though, to start with Write It in Arabic only to find, in moving on to the Ultimate Arabic Beginner-Intermediate text, that there are half a dozen or more character annotations (that modify consonants to create vowels) which Write It in Arabic essentially ignored until the end. The reason this was frustrating was that I had begun to create flash cards of the Arabic words given for practice, to build up a vocabulary - only to discover when I moved to the other book that most of the words lacked the character annotations and were incorrect. This meant I had to redo all of my flash cards - and since I am doing this at night, usually after 9 pm, after work/making dinner/doing laundry, just imagine my joy at the inefficient use of my time. While I wish the author had provided the 'complete' characters from the start (not leaving it as a nasty surprise to the end), I found the book useful and would recommend it to others.

A great guide to learning how to write the Arabic script, from single letters and numbers to sentences, words and more. Other books on writing focus only on the alphabet and if you're lucky, the numbers. This book has the alphabet, phrases, sentences, numbers and the mixing of numbers, letters and words. (Addresses would be one example.) Great for any beginner - like me. Too basic for intermediate or advanced students.

Excellent and fast delivery. Thank you.

Love this book super helpful!

The book is an excellent tool for teaching Arabic or teach kids how to start writing Arabic, I found it very simple and clear and it matchs my needs for my students and kids, thanks to authors for their excellent job. Thank you

Very handy little book and great accompaniment for anyone learning Arabic at beginning level.

Thank you for making such a book - Great and useful information. Even the book is arabic way (backward) ... Exercise simple. . It is really the basic to learn.

Exactement ce que je cherchai.

This book is exactly what you need if you are beginning this language from scratch. It is clear, simple, uncluttered and gives you just what you need to get started. The perfect stepping stone. However, the key to learning is repetition and testing yourself and I would have liked some more exercises. But that should not detract from a super little book.

Not for beginners. More progressive learning methods required.

I bought three Arabic handwriting books at the same time for a project at work. This is definitely the best of the lot - clear, well presented, and with lots of explanation.
