Know Arabic: An Introduction to the Arabic Alphabet and Sounds

About the Book

An introduction to Arabic Letters & Sounds
by Sidi O. Souiena, PhD

Many experts would agree that native Arabic speakers typically do not find trouble in the pronunciation of single or combinations of multiple letters of other languages, and the reason might be the presence of rare sounds in the Arabic language. So rare in fact that even certain Arabs in the Middle East stopped using them.

In order to account for those of us who are poor in time, rich in to-do lists, perhaps with lots of motivation to learn another language, curious about other cultures, or wish for his children or grandchildren to be bilingual or trilingual—why not develop a complete yet simple and intuitive method to learn the language? Sidi O. Souiena’s Know Arabic contains techniques based on simple visual and sounds. For shape retention, the “Transformers” technique allows the learner to retain the shapes and for the sound, using comparative sound techniques to generate new sounds.

Know Arabic is for the novice Arabic learner of all ages and backgrounds. Although your children will enjoy the learning that comes with the book using the shapes and stories, the book will further make an excellent child-parent exploration.
