text: This is a straightforward description of reading and writing the Arabic script.  If you have no experience with Arabic I think you would still need to locate a teacher or native speaker as some of the letters are very difficult to pronounce as native English speakers.
  However for the most part its easy to follow and would give you a great start, especially before you take an Arabic course.
  
  If it came with a cassette with pronouciation I would have given it 5 stars
