AT-TaKallum Starter A1 (SB + WB)-QR CODE

About the Starter Level

This book is the first stage of the beginner level of the At-Takallum series. Its design and size differ from the other books in the series: while the other books are built on units, this book is organized into sections, as it serves as the entry point to learning Arabic for non-native speakers.

The book is organized as follows:

Section 1 – Language Warm-up
57 illustrated words divided into four lessons, covering the most important vocabulary the learner will study in the starter book. It provides an audio-visual warm-up focused on hearing Arabic words and linking them to their pictures.

Section 2 – Phonetic Introduction
A phonetic introduction to the Arabic alphabet and its sound features, such as short and long vowels, shadda, tanween, the sun and moon letters, and letters with similar pronunciation. Learners are also introduced to how each letter is written in its different positions, with continuous writing practice after every lesson, so that by the end of this section they can read and write confidently.

Section 3 – Key Structures and Vocabulary
Basic statements and questions that build on the vocabulary learned so far, such as demonstratives for masculine and feminine, the question words «هل», «مَن», «ما» and «أين» with suitable answers, joining with «و», some adverbs, prepositions and adjectives, plus the days of the week, the months and the seasons. Numbers from zero to one hundred are taught along the way, in digits and words, five numbers after each lesson.

Section 4 – Introductions
A short introduction section that prepares for the fuller introductions at the beginning of Book One, covering greetings and farewells, welcoming, asking how someone is, and asking about name and country.

At-Takallum is a complete series for teaching Arabic to non-native speakers.
