Camilia Sadik
This is a college textbook, but it works for all ages and with or without a teacher. It is also a workbook. The author Camilia Sadik is a linguist; she teaches Arabic college courses to English speakers. Sadik is a native-Arabic speaker and she spent five long years dissecting Arabic and discovering the essential rules that govern Arabic words and letters. The vowels, consonants, and nine Arabic symbols are dissected. This book caters to the specific needs of English speakers. With the meticulous transliteration, students begin to speak Arabic from the first day of class. It contains 800+ cognates. The methodology is unique. No other methodology has 40+ original learning features in one program. It teaches sentence patterns, grouping of words, and conjugating of verbs. As a result, students learn a methodology to teach themselves to speak indefinitely. Each word is presented in four major Arabic dialects for students to choose their desired dialect. It is a class-tested approach, for all ages, and it works with or without a teacher. What’s more is that the author dissected both Arabic and English; she teaches the structure of both languages in two different colleges in San Diego, California.
