Description
Arabic is not an easy language to learn; both the script and the structure are quite unlike that of any European language. The aim of this book is to reduce to a minimum the difficulties the student will encounter in learning Arabic.
The script and grammar of the language are clearly explained in a series of carefully graded lessons, each of which contains many examples and exercise. The result is a detailed and practical course in the classical language of Arab civilization and culture.
The author A S Tritton, is a distinguished Oriental scholar with many years experience of teaching Arabic. He has written a book invaluable both to the student of Arabic and to the absolute beginner.
