Learn Arabic in 30 Days (Romanized)

Arabic, the language of Islam, is spoken today by some 50 millions of people and, beyond this, has served for centuries as the sacred, literary and official language of Middle East countries. It is one of the international languages.

Arabic is a semitic language and so different from those usually studied in India and Europe. In this language the roots consist of unpronounceable skeleton of three consonants, called radicals, and these rots are not words. The addition of vowels, prefixes. Suffixes to the root makes words. Thus in Arabic a root like 'k-t-b' 'write appears in words like katab' - he wrote, 'kaatib - writer, 'kitaab - book; and with prefixes 'ma-kaatib - place for writing, 'ma-ktab' - school, 'ye-ktub' - he is writing.
