So I was at the El Paso Public Library with the kids checking out books when I came across these two books. I won’t add all of the information as you can Google both titles and find them online if you want to order them.
Barron’s had announced the release of their long anticipated 501 Arabic Verbs. When I saw it I had totally forgotten about it. You can find my review on the 201 Arabic Verbs in the archives, InshaAllah. I had read some negative reviews about this book but to be honest this is a pretty impressive reference work. I also like the fact that there are example sentences that show you how the word is used. The previous book left you guessing.
Intermediate Arabic for Dummies is not bad either but I think it is for those trying to learn Arabic grammar via the English medium. The author did a good job in explaining the intricate parts of grammar in laymen’s terms. I do not like the fact that the Arabic grammatical terms are transliterated by it is still a nice reference work for those still learning the language.
