I'm an Arabic language teacher and have been desperately looking for a complete set of Arabic Language for non-native speakers book. I have tried different books to teach my students Arabic, but everytime I used any book I found something missing. Either the book I used was not organized or lack a lot of skills that are basic and important to beginners specifically. Until I found Al-Asas book, which means The Foundation. It does build a solid foundation. The book is also inviting to learners. You don't feel it is stuffing a bunch of language points in one page or even unit. It really builds up the skills. You apply what you learn before to what's coming after. It has many pages to practice. I didn't know there is a newer, revised and updated edition that is colored too. I bought that one too to check it out and post my review on it as soon as I check it. If you are like me have been looking for almost to a perfect Arabic for non-native book, this is it. Highly recommend and it is definitely worth your money.

Like it alot

The last one is badBut the first books were good

Very clear and easy to follow.

The book helps you build a logical understanding of the language in an every day context of use. The reading and comprehension texts are followed by exercises and vocabulary that you can relate to daily encounters. Its cultural insight is very helpful in drawing a picture of the Arab world to students of the culture as well as the language. The CD is a very good way to check your pronunciation against that of a native Arabic speaker. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn Arabic in a straightforward and intuitive way.

I was sent a used book that was written in not just a couple pages a whole lot of pages more than pictured and the CD doesn’t work. I was charged full price this is not ok wasted time and money

This book is excellent since it is easy to follow through. It is especially great for my children who started to learn Arabic seriousely in their teen years

excellent for my purposes.
