Arabic (Teach Yourself) ReviewUnlike many Teach Yourself books, which can be more attuned to the prospective tourist who wants to get familiar with the language and be able to travel using it rather than a student of the language, this book covers Modern Standard Arabic in a traditional "grammar" sense - it starts with nouns, then adjectives, some verbs, various clauses, etc. and really gets you feeling how to express things in Arabic, even without the vocabulary - it is more or less a grammar reference, with sample dialogs and readings on Arab culture serving as backup to the points in each unit that Smart wants to impart. A great starting point, not at all too weighty, and a good reference for the beginner or intermediate student. One plus: he omits the noun endings (genitive, etc.) which are mainly unvoiced but indeed the realm of the proper, highly-educated Arabic speaker in reading and writing. Although this may leave out a large part of Arabic grammar, Smart is pragmatic in that leaving this out early on will get the student familiar with the basics of grammar, and then move onto that next if he chooses (depending on what level he wants to study or use the language.) Other texts either introduce the endings and "heavy" grammar early, alienating the student, or go all out and focus on a colloquial dialect, which means you can't read a newspaper or listen to the media without confusion, although you can order your falafel effortlessly in the souq. The usual dilemma for the Arabic student, but Smart helps you start without much pain. A must for the elementary/intermediate student.Arabic (Teach Yourself) Overview
