The course, Teach Yourself Arabic, begins with a guide to Arabic script and throughout the book there is an English transliteration (English letters) to help you with reading and pronunciation.

The 18 thematically written units are carefully graded and present new language via dialogues, which are also recorded. These are followed by questions and exercises to help you check your progress. The new vocabulary is given in both Arabic script and in transliteration. In addition to clear and full explanations of new grammar, you will find cultural tips which highlight some of the social and cultural aspects of life in the Arab world and which you will find invaluable on any trip.

The accompanying recorded material can be bought separately on two CDs or two cassettes, or can be bought as a pack with the book.
