Answer Key To Al-Kitaab Fii Ta'allum Al-'Arabiyya 2nd Edition

Great answer key to check and make sure you're on the right track! I took Arabic in college, but I bought this and the Al-Kitaab book as a refresher. I'm really surprised that a lot of things have come back to me! While I was studying this book I thought the order of the lessons and the vocab you learn first seemed strange, but you really do catch on and its very helpful. Im very happy with this answer key and with the Al-kitaab books in general!

Good product.

Item arrived in excellent condition. It also arrived one day before it was due to come. I had an old book for which I needed the answer key, an older edition than the current one. So I was very happy to find this. Price was also very cheap so I overpaid on the shipping. Still item arrived even faster than expected. And nice packaging also!

The answer key is all in Arabic...I was hoping, because the text book for "beginning" Arabic is very confusing and is not very clear, that at least this Answer Key would translate everything into English. But it doesn't. The text book does give a vocabulary in each chapter but all Arabic words used in the chapter are not all in the vocabulary and are also not always in the Arabic-English glossary in the back of the book..so one has to look them up in an Arabic-English dictionary, of which I have several. Looking words up in Arabic dictionaries are not as straightforward as in an English dictionary unless you know the Arabic roots. In order to know the roots, it helps to know the structure of the words which you don't get in this book. Beginners should not have to be put through this or they will be frustrated. Not only that but the text book and this answer key to the text book assumes you know how to read Arabic. It does not teach you this. I know how to read Arabic and I have also gotten more than half way through Rosetta Stone Level 2 Arabic but I find this Al-Kitab text and answer key hard to follow or figure out. I also very much dislike the DVDs. Maha is cute but the program could have been put together a lot better (the GUI was difficult to work with). A lot of these Arabic to English language courses seem to forget that the people they are teaching don't know Arabic or can't read Arabic and it sure doesn't help when they don't constantly give specific instructions and course the path with English. I found a pretty good Arabic-English language course that can be downloaded for free...public domain...there is a 3 volume course in both Arabic and English and audio Arabic and English translations that follow the printed course material. You only have to endure, if that is a problem, a little bit (ok, more than a little bit) of proselytizing into Islam. But the guy who reads the Arabic and English translations is very clear and easy to understand. Do a search on the Arabic Medina Books at the archive.org website and be prepared for huge downloads. You can also go to the [...] site to download yet another guy on the Medina Books audio but I found him a little harder to understand. There is also a huge library of videos on the Medina Books course but those are more advanced and expect you to have gone through the 3 volume course as a prerequisite.

Exactly as described. If you are considering buying this, it is not very necessary unless you are directly graded on the assignments in this book. I did not need any of these solutions during my class.

If you have to use Al-Kitaab for your Arabic class, which you likely will, then this is a worthy supplement. Al-Kitaab has many faults, which include vocabulary being taught in an illogical manner as well as nonsensical practice exercises, yet this answer key can help dull the negatives of Al-Kitaab. Beware that this is a very straightforward answer key, and it is missing some exercises which you will wish were present, yet this is a good tool to check your work as well as to give you a little push in the right direction should a practice exercise make little sense to you.

This book is a MUST if you are studying Arabic. Half the time the hardest part is figuring out exactly what the homework is. Looking up the first answer always helped me figure out what I was doing.

I needed the key for the accompanying text! It really helped me to understand as I was learning intro level arabic.
