On every double page with pictures,

there is a little yellow duck to look for.
Can you find it?
About this book
This book provides a fun and engaging way
for beginners to learn Arabic. On most of the
pages, large, colorful panoramic scenes are
surrounded with small pictures labeled with
their names in Arabic.

Saying the words

Each Arabic word is also written in Roman
letters, to show you how to pronounce it.

Reading the words while looking at the pictures

will help you remember them, and you can

test yourself by looking for and naming the

objects in the panoramic scenes. You can
even practice forming simple sentences to
talk about the pictures.

Arabic alphabet
At the back of the book there is a guide to
the Arabic alphabet and a list of all the Arabic
words with their pronunciation guides and
meanings in English. Arabic is written from
and there are several sounds for
right to left
which there are no equivalents in English. The
pronunciation guides will help you, but the
best way to learn how to say the words is
to listen to a native Arabic speaker.
