Sharon,
At the University of Maryland, we are currently using "Alif Baa" and
"Al-Kitaab", which I, as a foreign language teacher AND a beginning
learner of Arabic, can heartily recommend. We had previously used
"Ahlan wa Sahlan" which I found to be a little less "user friendly" (to
me as a learner) than the Al-Kitaab series. I particularly recommend
Alif Baa which gives a strong foundation in the Arabic alphabet and
sound system, which I feel is key to success with the language.
Best regards,
Nicole
