Does what it says

This book does exactly what the title says: it makes learning the script an easier process. I used this book first and then went on to Arabic Explorer software by Rosetta Stone. I found I was pronouncing words wrong, but that was easily corrected because I only knew 100 words. I don't know how I could have used the Arabic Explorer software without this book, because they don't even introduce the script. With this book though it was a good transition. The best way I found to use this book was to go through a set of flashcards until I had the transliteration memorized and then start trying to cover up the transliteration and go straight from the Arabic script to the English word. A very good starting place for those who want to read and speak Arabic.

Waiting for my next 100 words in Arabic

Spent all of June in Safaga, Egypt. I showed this book to my Egyptian counterpart (a teacher, private pilot, Senior Master Gulf of Suez Ship Pilot, and business owner) and he immediately asked me to buy one for him to use to help his clients when they're in town. This is the way most of us learned English in Grammar school. Some by rote and visual learning. I believe this is the best primer for English-speakers available on the market. Definately the most useful of the ...of books/tapes I have purchased. I'm going to AMAZE my host family when I return to Ismalia next month.

Great addition to your learning materials

"Your first 100 words in Arabic" isbn 0-8442-2395-6 It has great cut out flash cards for studying. I am like a kid, I like pictures. The alphabet is presented in a way where you can learn the different writing positions of each letter and the pronuciation. I go to this book all the time for reference purposes.

Great Starting Point

This book offers a great place to start learning arabic vocabulary. After learning the alphabet and some basic grammar from other books I was happy to have this book to learn some basic vocabulary from. Though some people may think of the games as "kid stuff" I found them a great way to reinforce my memory.

easy way to learn the alphabet without much memorization

This book was full of games that children play to help learn words. Although I found it hard at first to resist the temptation to just memorize the alphabet, I followed the authors' recommendation to learn the alphabet simply by becoming familiar with the words. However, I was disappointed to find several errors on the flashcards. This is a good way to ease yourself into learning Arabic, but for those on a limited budget I would advise looking into buying another book.
