There are 10 books in this package. Each one covers a very specific topic so in that respect, you won’t find anything more thorough. The downside is, it’s a lot to absorb. Don’t expect to master Arabic language in a few weeks. It isn’t going to happen. Just want to make that clear.
The first book goes over letters and numbers including all their pronunciations and spellings. There are excellent examples for every letter and number in the book itself.
Book two goes into forming simple sentences. Fortunately, this book doesn’t get too advanced too quickly or you’d be totally lost. Arabic is not easy by a long shot.
Book three goes into verbs (over 200 standard ones) Again, this book is fairly basic, as Arabic goes. It will still be a handful for you if this is the first time tackling this language.
Book four goes over how to write the days of each month, the months themselves and how to write time in Arabic. It’s nothing like English. This book is very well done and one of the easiest to understand.
Book five goes over nouns and covers about 500 or them. This may seem like a lot, but it’s not. I wish they had covered more as nouns (things) are the bulk of any language. This is probably one of the weaker parts of the package.
Book six essentially goes over what you need to know if you’re going to travel in an Arabic speaking country. This book is indispensable for those who want to learn to speak Arabic.
Book seven goes over adjectives. There are over 200 adjectives covered in this book. Like the book on nouns, I wish they had covered more, but adjectives are not quite as important so I give them a pass on this. Not bad.
Book eight, my favorite, goes over everyday dialogue or conversational Arabic. This is the stuff that you really need if you’re going to actually speak with people. Some of this stuff is critical to know if you’re going to go out shopping in an Arabic speaking land.
Book nine goes over basic grammar, which, depending on how well your grammar is in English, may or may not be so important to you. People may understand you without this instruction but I’m sure you’ll also get some dirty looks as well.
Book ten goes over some simple sentences and basic language. I think this book was just thrown in to make it an even 10 books. This stuff could have been included in some of the other books.
All in all, it’s not perfect BUT of ALL the Arabic books out there, this one, hands down, is the best. They make things relatively easy to understand and explain things in step by step format.
On a scale of 1 to 5, I give it a 4. But for the price, you won’t get better. At the very least, go to their site and see what they have to offer.
Here it is => Breaking the Arabic Code.
