Author- Yunus Agaskar
‘Arabic for everyday use’,an English to Arabic phrase book by Yunus Agaskar ,which helps one from the very beginning to learn Arabic, as we learn reading and writing alphabets in K.Gs.This book gives an insight of the basic learning of Arabic.The words we use in our day-to-day life to some usually used sentences,phrases and conversations.
As the back cover says-‘Arabic is no longer the language of a few nomadic desert tibes,but the lingua franca of one of the richest and fast developing regions.For the large number of Indian job-seekers going to the Arab countries has become a must.This book,designed as a simple course,includes phrases for everyday use and should prove invaluable to all those who interact with Arabs,either in business,or even as a tourist.’
Learning and experimenting new things is always my hobby.And learning new languages,is on the top of the list.After gaining basic knowledge of Spanish,I picked up this book to learn Arabic.Arabic,a completely different language and I’ve never heard anyone speaking it.But there is an enthusiam inside me to learn it.I’ve just went through this book for once,and I couldn’t grasp much.But,I’m sure with daily practising and revision,someday I’ll be good in it.
The content of the book holds-alphabet and writing,Basic grammar,conversations,passage to arabia.These things are elaborated in a sequential and mannered way which is easy to grasp and learn.Though learning it would take some time and so more time in learning how to write Arabic,as it is no way related to our language.But,no doubt,it is interesting and fun to
learn.
This book is recommended to the one,who loves to learn languages or specially Arabic from the very basic.This book will teach you as you are a new learner,and will no doubt,leave you after learning the coatings of Arabic.For me,its like-an Arabic K.G course book which has given to me.
