Real pages from the book

Twelve words a page, read right to left. The red marks are the vowels, and the small English line under each word is its meaning.

Page 6: drill on the pattern fa'ala, twelve past-tense verbs — **A pattern drill**Three equal beats. Twelve verbs you'll use every day.

Page 21: contrast lab for kaf and qaf, with minimal pairs — **A contrast lab**كَلْب or قَلْب? A dog or a heart. Your ear learns the difference.

Page 16: drill on the pattern fa'eel, describing words in opposite pairs — **Opposites, paired**Big against small, near against far, so each meaning holds the other up.

Page 32: cut-out certificate of completion with a QR code to the reading test — **Your certificate**Sit the online test, write in your score, and keep it.

Who this book is for

Read With Me is for adults who already know the Arabic letters and now want to read real words quickly and correctly, without guessing.

You learned the alphabet, but you still read letter by letter

You can name every letter and you know its shapes, but a word like مَكْتُوب takes you ten seconds to sound out. The drills train your eye to see the whole pattern at once.

You speak Arabic at home, but can't read it

You grew up hearing Egyptian, Levantine or Gulf Arabic, so the words feel familiar, yet a menu, a sign or a text message still stops you. You already know the sounds; this book connects them to the page.

You mix up the letters that sound alike to you

صَيْف and سَيْف, قَلْب and كَلْب, عَمَل and أَمَل. Six contrast labs drill these pairs until your ear and your mouth tell them apart.

You're taking classes and need daily reading practice

Every drill has a recording code your teacher can mark, so the book fits around lessons with any tutor. Studying alone works too: the listening pages check your reading for you.

You're moving to or visiting the Arab world

The words come from everyday life: street, floor, reception, reserved, paid, forbidden. The ones you'll meet on signs, buttons, forms and receipts.

You'll get the most from it if

you recognise all 28 letters and their joined shapes
you know what the short vowel marks are, even if you're slow with them
you can give it about 15 minutes a day; at one drill a day you finish in around five weeks

It's not the right book if

the letters are still new to you: learn them first, then come back
you want to read text without vowel marks: every word here is fully voweled, which is the step before that
you want grammar explanations or spoken dialect: this book trains reading only

For letters, dialects or speaking, message our teachers on Instagram.

Questions

Do I need an account?

No. You pay with your email address, and the book and your access link come to that email. Your link opens every listening page and the test on up to three of your own devices.

Is it Modern Standard Arabic or a dialect?

Modern Standard Arabic, the Arabic of books, news and signs. Every word is chosen from the most common everyday vocabulary, with no religious framing.

Can I print it?

Yes. The book is an A4 PDF, made to be printed or used on a tablet. The QR codes work from paper or screen.

The email didn't arrive. What now?

Check your spam or promotions folder for an email from Arabanion. If it isn't there after 15 minutes, write to contact@arabanion.com and we'll send it straight away.

Can I share it with a friend?

Each copy is made for one reader and carries their name. Your friend can buy their own, and they'll get their own link and certificate.
