To this end, an audio CD recording of all the materials in the book will be made available to help foster good pronunciation. This workbook assumes no prior knowledge of Arabic whatsoever. Clear, simple explanations introduce each new topic, supported by a wealth of exercises and activities, thereby helping to reinforce the learning process and to ensure rapid progression. The use of colour coding to highlight each point under discussion, as well as the inclusion of quality colour illustrations, serve to enhance the learning experience. The materials included offer extensive reading and writing practice as well as the opportunity for dictation exercises as a means of monitoring the learners progress. By the end of the book, students should be sufficiently competent in reading and writing the Arabic script to be able to progress to part two of the series in which they will start to learn Arabic grammar and vocabulary; read and construct sentences with understanding; and begin speaking this important international language.\n\u003cdiv class=\"Ar-Desc\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"UK - Anglo-Arabic Graphics Ltd._V","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39487092814,"sku":"TCBABP1","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1902\/6745\/products\/CBABP1.jpg?v=1642238039","url":"https:\/\/www.tajoora.co.uk\/products\/arabic-from-the-beginning-part-one","provider":"Tajoora.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
