Arabic Without Tears - Book 2 (Two) The Second Book For Younger Learners

Arabic Without Tears is a colourful new series designed to teach Arabic in a lively interactive manner to younger learners. It is intended for use by parents or teachers working closely with their children or pupils. This second volume builds upon the letter recognition skills taught in the first book of the series by introducing the child to the joined forms of the letters of the Arabic alphabet, together with the various vowel signs, in a gradual assimilative manner. The book follows a 'key words' approach, whereby the child is progressively introduced to a range of basic Arabic vocabulary. There is a thorough analysis of the phonic components making up each word, opportunity for copying and writing practice, as well as the chance to use each new word in a variety of meaningful contexts through a range of activities. Mini flashcards at the end of the book are provided to help test the child's recognition and understanding of the key words.

About The Author

Dr Imran Hamza Alawiye

Dr Imran Hamza Alawiye was born in the city of Ogbomosho in Western Nigeria where I completed my primary and secondary education but have lived abroad for more than forty years. Having brought up two children of his own and watched them flourish under the UK educational system, he has come to recognise just how fortunate they were in having access to modern classrooms, up-to-date textbooks, well-equipped laboratories, state-of-the-art whiteboards, computer suites, libraries, sports facilities and more during their schooling.

The story in his home city could not be in greater contrast, as he saw on a previous visit. The students have a real thirst for learning and the staff are incredibly dedicated to delivering a solid education, but they are terribly hampered by a lack of adequate buildings, classroom furniture, textbooks, science equipment and other basic resources to make their efforts effective.

Dr Imran Hamza Alawiye took it upon himself that when he returned to Britain he should actively campaign on their behalf to lend them a helping hand. For he believes that education is the passport for them to access a first world education while remaining in Nigeria. He immediately contacted some UK schools and was impressed with the response he received. To date, I have personally gathered and shipped over 65,000 donated textbooks, old still-usable science equipment that schools were replacing, as well as books to establish a library. But it became clear to him that his personal efforts were but a drop in the ocean of need.

For this reason, he established the charity Helping Hands for Education (HHE). His wife and other trustees came together to support his humble efforts, initially with the idea of targeting the schools in Ogbomosho, though hopefully expanding further afield in the long term.
