Review title: A grammar translation approach to Arabic
Product review: I teach Arabic at the University of Indiana from this book. It is strict grammar translation. The material is very dry and hard for the students to comprehend. It doesn't contain much in the way of actual Arabic material. There is one short dialogue per chapter and the topic of the dialogue progresses from the University to the Office to Famous Arabic Literary figures. Using this book you would never get around to asking someone where the bathroom is or be able to talk about your family. It is best used as a grammar supplement only.
