Shame about the Arabic! - By: A Reader, 25 Mar 2008 
This could potentiallly have been a great book had it not been for the poor quality Arabic used. There are some significant linguistic errors & some vocabulary presumably incorrectly imported from Moroccan colloquial Arabic. It's very good however for teaching key phrases & verbs in a clear consise way & getting to the essentials of language enabling rapid acquisition of very basic comversational skills. The stickers are also a great idea. My advice to the author would be to employ a language editor with even a high school knowledge of classical Arabic to go over the errors & fix them, making it a great book!
Simply wonderful! - By: Tash, 14 Sep 2006 
This book is well worth purchasing!
Easy to read, colourful & informative. Its great to learn those basic Arabic phrases needed to get by on holiday.
It covers colours, money, nationality etc to mention a few things.
Crosswords are used to help learn the vocab even more effectively.
And the best bit - it has sticky labels which u can attach/reattach to objects around your home. And dual language flash cards.
All in alll, a good purchase & suitable for a beginner.
No previous knowledge is needed, its more aimed at teaching words in Arabic script than the translitteration, but both are covered.
