More Description By author Dr Imran Alawiye for gatewaytoarabic.com

The materials in Book Three and upwards are best used with secondary school students or above – I would suggest a minimum age of eleven upwards. The primary objective of Book Three is to introduce students to regular triliteral first-form Arabic verbs in the past and present tenses.

(Page 12) Here, having learnt to conjugate the verb ‘he wrote’ (kataba), students are given the opportunity to conjugate ‘he studied’ (darasa) and ‘he drank’ (shariba) for themselves. The concept of word patterns and word roots is also introduced in this book, as is the correct word order for verbal sentences and the agreement of verbs and number.

(Page 17) Students are also taught noun and adjective endings in the nominative, accusative and genitive cases in their defined and indefinite forms, as well as their usage in sentences. The use of the genitive to express possession (idaafah) is explored in some depth.

Other areas covered by this book include the attached and detached pronouns, comparative and superlative adjectives, cardinal numbers up to nineteen and ordinal numbers from one to ten; and the construction and use of the imperative. One of the key new areas of vocabulary introduced is the school timetable.

All materials are supported through passages of dialogue, written exercises and vocabulary boxes. A glossary of the nouns used within the book, their plurals, and a list of the verbs used, listed in the third person masculine singular past and present tenses, are also provided for ease of reference.

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.
