Query: Very helpful but needs updating

I found the book to be very helpful. The section on the alphabet starts from the easiest letter and builds from there, hammering in the information until you know it forward and backward. The information builds, like language, and is not just thrown out to you. The book was, however, written with a typewriter and, for the writing section, by hand, and so contains a few blotches in the Arabic. With new computer technology, the book as it is written could use a better print. The book contains many exercises that are thorough and will ensure that any student will learn the material. The exercises develop a strong, gradual base of learning.
