Sugar Comes from Arabic: A Beginner's Guide to Arabic Letters and Words Review: How to easily learn the Arabic alphabet - How to easily learn the Arabic alphabet! Sugar Comes from Arabic A Beginner's Guide to Arabic Letters and Words Barbara Whitesides ISBN 978-1-56656-757-2 When I lived in Dubai for eight years I often tried to learn Arabic. I probably hindered myself from memorizing the alphabet, thinking "This alphabet has 124 letter shapes to remember. Woe is me! I've never been good at memorizing." Then I discovered information about Sugar Comes from Arabic from the Saudi-Aramco magazine. Hope re-ignited! Maybe I could master Arabic letters! This book's logic, memory aides, personal approach (first step-- write names easily), cultural additions, word source explanations, delightful lay-out--the entire book impresses me. The ring bound pages lay open easily, the large page size makes full but uncluttered pages readable, the pictures are colorful...I can't find anything I'd suggest as lacking in this book. Each page with a new letter has the entire alphabet along one edge for easy reference. Back pages have the entire Arabic alphabet and numbers. The method used to remember each letter and how it fits in words--so clear and simple! I'm happily working on learning Arabic! And making great progress. Thank you, Barbara Whitesides and crew! © Geni J. White Review: Fun and accessible guide to the Arabic alphabet - This is a simple and fun book that introduces the user to the Arabic letters. Very imaginative. I would have liked even more practice pages, but I know they would add to the book's cost. I highly recommend this guide to anyone who would like to familiarize herself with the alphabet (alifbaa) and learn to read and write a few words, perhaps including her first name. Interesting tidbits about Arabic culture are sprinkled throughout, like sugar. Perhaps some readers will progress to a serious study of the language. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,031,616 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (48) | | Dimensions | 9 x 0.75 x 11 inches | | Edition | Bilingual | | Grade level | 2 and up | | ISBN-10 | 1566567572 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1566567572 | | Item Weight | 1.42 pounds | | Language | Arabic, English | | Print length | 133 pages | | Publication date | March 2, 2020 | | Publisher | Interlink Pub Group Inc | ## Images ![Sugar Comes from Arabic: A Beginner's Guide to Arabic Letters and Words - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81tYw2Sh3xL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How to easily learn the Arabic alphabet *by G***E on October 8, 2010* How to easily learn the Arabic alphabet!

White ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun and accessible guide to the Arabic alphabet *by S***A on April 16, 2018* This is a simple and fun book that introduces the user to the Arabic letters. Very imaginative. I would have liked even more practice pages, but I know they would add to the book's cost. I highly recommend this guide to anyone who would like to familiarize herself with the alphabet (alifbaa) and learn to read and write a few words, perhaps including her first name.

Perhaps some readers will progress to a serious study of the language. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a labor of love *by R***N on February 9, 2014* There are so many delightful details to this book, not only in the playful and timely prose, but in the fonts and drawings and photos as well. I love the way the book is bound -- it lays flat, and was clearly made to last. Unlike the majority of informative books published these days, which all seem to be variations on "XXXX for Idiots", it's wonderful to find a book that was created by someone actually devoted to the subject matter. I've only just received the book and skipped around in it, but I can already tell that the author's thoughtfulness will yield many months and years of interesting reading at our house.
