5.0 out of 5 stars A must!
This is a must, particularly if you are learning on your own or using Alif Baa to supplement your studies. The answer key is needed for obvious reason but the DVD is helpful in working on listening comprehension and some culture.

3.0 out of 5 stars Alright for what it is
Fine answer key. Very Useful but not completely necessary for study in Alif Baa.

4.0 out of 5 stars Middle Aged College Arabic Student, October 7, 2005

This review is from: Answer Key to Alif Baa, Second Edition: Answer Key To Alif Baa: Introduction To Arabic Letters and Sounds (Arabic Edition) (Paperback)
We meet twice a week at night. No contact with the Teacher in between. So the answer key lets me know how I'm doing with the assignments. You could cheat and just write in the answers but you'd pay dearly for it during quizzes, exams or trips to the board during class. Using this has kept me on track and helped identify things I need to do again - and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the answer key to an AWESOME product, April 8, 2007

This review is from: Answer Key to Alif Baa, Second Edition: Answer Key To Alif Baa: Introduction To Arabic Letters and Sounds (Arabic Edition) (Paperback)
This is the answer key. It is very useful if you want to check your work and it isn't very expensive.

Below is my review for the Alif Baa: Introduction to Letters and Sounds set (just to help you while you are looking).

This is the answer key to a product that is AWESOME! The explanations are very clear. The listening exercises give students exposure to colloquial Egyptian Arabic. The listening exercises also help the learner to distinguish between letter sounds and reinforce their letter sound pronunciation.

You really should buy this if you are learning Arabic. It is that useful!

My only gripe is that I bought the book in the store and had to buy the answer key online. The answer key should be included with the book in store as well or INCLUDED in the damn book.

Alif Baa is SO much better than the later "Al-Kitaab" books in this series. If you want to learn the Arabic script, buy this and do the drills (then turn elsewhere for the language).

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have, September 12, 2010

This review is from: Answer Key to Alif Baa, Second Edition: Answer Key To Alif Baa: Introduction To Arabic Letters and Sounds (Arabic Edition) (Paperback)
If you're studying Arabic on your own with Alif Baa or Al Kitaab, the answer keys are a must have. I'm working through Alif Baa now, and so far, it is certainly possible to study on your own, but you have to have the answer key to do it. The books tell you that they're designed for use as classroom textbooks, but the student is supposed to do 90% of the work (and learning) outside of the class on his/her own. Class time is meant to be a supplement/practice time. So get the answer key, and good luck!

This review is from: Answer Key to Alif Baa, Second Edition: Answer Key To Alif Baa: Introduction To Arabic Letters and Sounds (Arabic Edition) (Paperback)
I think this is a good product. It works well with the book. It is a must have if you are studying Alif Baa in school or alone. You can check your answers. However, since this is only an answer key, you will be disappointed if you are looking for definitions or explanations to your questions.

Don't worry about cheating on any test. I have taken several test in a continuing education program provided by New York University. I must testify, not one test was taken from this book.

Overall, it is a great buy for those who are using Alif Baa to learn Arabic.

4 stars - 1 star is missing because the lack of explanation for new students.
