The first of 20 volumes of lessons designed for use in a full-time, intensive training program in Arabic is presented. In each lesson grammatical patterns and vocabulary are taught through explanations, vocabulary lists, dialogues, audiolingual drills, and question-answer and free oral expression exercises. A review lesson is included after every four lessons. This particular volume presents indefinite nouns, equational sentences, yes-or-no questions, dual-choice questions, case, gender, nunation, demonstrative and noun-adjective phrases, and pronominal suffixes.
