Mastering Arabic 1 Activity Book, Second Edition

I am the Director of InterAct Language Center in Syracuse, New York. We were looking for a textbook that would align with our philosophy that you learn languages more efficiently by learning to communicate from the start. We adopted this activity book to accompany the Mastering Arabic 1 book for our credit, as well as non-credit, classes. Both the book and activity book turned out great. Skills are practice individually and in context from the start, and learners have fun in the process. While the publisher advertises this as a self-study book, it is more effective yet with the supervision of an instructor. I highly recommend it.

I'm a college student who studies Arabic during the school year, and this activity book helps out a lot! It's got little games and activities to help understand the language, and it doesn't feel like you're working. Definitely something to help you get started, or to help you keep up that way you don't lose any information you've learned before.

This workbook perfectly reinforces the material covered in each chapter of its corresponding textbook. Some of the material is a bit old-fashioned with repetitive exercises, but it gets the job done if you can look past that.

I LOVED this activity book. I feel like it's a must though with the Mastering Arabic 1 "textbook". If you don't buy that other book (pictured) it won't make sense on its own. I have a bad attention span and I get bored easily and this work book REALLY helps with the retention of the information from the other book. It goes over information previously learned in the Units from Mastering Arabic 1. It's fun, it's thorough and easy. I do 2 Units a week and the days between I go over those 2 Units. You have to be your own coach though and not bite off more than you can chew. Learn the lessons as you go but do not advance to the next Units until you are ready, for me I would easily get overwhelmed and discouraged. Anyways, I guess that's more about me than the book, but that's one of the main points about it. For someone like ME even the book makes it easy by breaking it up into parts where you can take a moment, breathe and then continue when your brains is ready. lol

Goes with Mastering Arabic 1 third edition. It makes learning something difficult fun and almost easy :)

This are some of the best exercises I've seen. They reinforce the lessons and provide much needed practice.

Requires the full main book to follow along. It is not a standalone workbook

A great book with practical progression from easy to hard, helpful exercises and drawings to keep it entertaining.

I love it!

I am using this book now with my Beginner students and find it awesome, well structured and the lessons are nicely scaffolding. I love it.

Strutturato in modo logico, intuitivo e progressivo. Necessario l'abbinamento col relativo e omonimo testo di teoria e grammatica, con cui segue un percorso strettamente parallelo di esercizi e di ampliamento del vocabolario. I due testi insieme potrebbero essere utilizzati anche da chi vuol provare a studiare da autodidatta.

There is probably nothing wrong with the book but it was late in arriving. It came today September 28th.
