The Al-Kitaab series is a sequence of textbooks for the Arabic language published by Georgetown University Press with the full title Al-Kitaab fii Taʿallum al-ʿArabiyya ( Arabic: الكِتاب في تَعَلًُم العَرَبِيّة, "The book of Arabic learning"). It is written by Kristen Brustad, Mahmoud Al-Batal, and Abbas Al-Tonsi and was first published in 1995; since that time, it has become the most popular Arabic textbook in the United States. [1] [2] b (The letter p doesn’t really exist in Arabic, so ‘p’ is also pronounced as ‘b’ by Arabic speakers.)If you’re curious about learning Arabic, the Arabic alphabet is a great place to start. And you’ve come to the right place to learn all about it! The first edition of the Al-Kitaab series included materials in both formal Modern Standard Arabic (also called Fusha) and Egyptian Arabic. [16] At the time, this was unusual, as most Arabic instructional texts taught only Fusha, or, less commonly, only a colloquial dialect. [16] The current third edition includes Fusha, Egyptian, and Levantine Arabic.

When you look at Arabic text, you may notice that the Arabic letters in words can ‘flow’ together (think of it as joined up handwriting, otherwise known as cursive!). Following so far? We’re impressed. Let’s dive into the detail. Arabic alphabet in detail: 4 important concepts to be aware of 1. Most Arabic letters have four different formsThis suffix mostly occurs with Arabic loanwords, but it is used somewhat peculiarly in Persian. Firstly, it also written out after words which, in Arabic, end in the feminine suffix ـَة‎ ( -a ), e.g. نسبتاً‎ ( nesbatan, “ relatively ” ). More importantly, it may at times occur with native Persian words and with Arabic words in which the ending would be ungrammatical, e.g. ناچاراً‎ ( nâčâran, “ inevitably ” ), اقلاً‎ ( aqallan, “ at least ” ).

Granted this is designed for complete beginners (which I am not), but it seems to miss quite a bit of the nuances of the language. For the most part it disregards such things as dual, plural, past, future tenses, most of the grammar of the language, and doesn't really have any verbs.

First off, what’s it like to learn the Arabic alphabet as a beginner?

Some letters welcome this flow, while others don’t. Unfriendly letters (the clue’s in the name!) are the ones that don’t.
