Thesaurus-Dictionary of Sumerian, Anunnaki, Babylonian, Mesopotamian, Assyrian, Akkadian, Aramaic, Hittite - World's First Languages & Civilizations: ... to History, Ulema & Extraterrestrials Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Acclaimed linguist and scholar, Maximillien de Lafayette, has created a unique Thesaurus/Dictionary for the ages. This historical volume is monumental.
Lending credibility and factual confirmation to the topic, Maximillien has filled the deep chasm that has been so prevalent in the archives of linguistics, as well as extraterrestrial education. With an emphasis on ancient data and language, this accomplished historian mastered an astounding feat. He is to be lauded as a magnanimous figure in the annals of both linguistics and Ufology.
Having extensively studied the background of anomalous visitations and influence since becoming a first-hand witness to the still unexplained Arizona mass UFO sighting of March 13, 1997, this tremendous resource of information delves much deeper and more succinctly than any book I have read on the subject.
The author creatively translates and intricately defines fascinating information concerning the significance of not just one or two languages, but fourteen! He cleverly expounds on the why, where, when and who of the origins, sources, derivations, uses, and transformation of these ancient letters and words, while artistically weaving intriguing tales and mythology. The work behind this tremendous achievement is staggering. I wouldn't be surprised if this important Thesaurus/Dictionary becomes a collectors item in short order.

501 Arabic Verbs: Fully Conjugated in All Forms Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Used together with Hans Wehr's indispensable dictionary, this book is very useful for the intermediate learner of Arabic. However, the lack of English indexing is extremely frustrating. In short, it's definitely worth having until the next edition comes out - hopefully with a much-improved index.
PROS:
1. Each of the 501 verbs is conjugated neatly in its 65 different forms according to:
- person (1st, 2nd, and 3rd)
- number (singular, dual, plural)
- gender (feminine and masculine)
- voice (active and passive)
- mood (perfect (maadhi), imperfect (marfoo'a), subjunctive (mansoob), jussive (majroor), imperative (amr))
- active participle (sighat al-fa'il), passive participle (sighat al-maf'ool), and verbal noun (masdar)
These are all the forms that Arabic professors expect you (as an intermediate or advanced student) to know off the top of your head, but that few of us can actually recite perfectly - especially for weak verbs, hollow verbs, etc. So it's great having it all in once place as a reference. Even for the beginner, seeing all of this laid out for each verb in one place will give you a good visual schema for how Arabic verbs work.
2. Each verb comes with three or four example sentences using different forms of the verb in context. Very helpful if you're trying to learn new verbs.
3. Each verb comes with its verb pattern (wazn, I to X) and root (jadhr). The book is alphabetized by jadhr, just like Hans Wehr. The verbs are also indexed at the back of the book alphabetically in Arabic as well (i.e. by spelling of the pattern of the verb listed, not just by root).
4. Unlike some other reviewers, I don't find the type to be too small. It's fine. A lot of Arabic texts are written in smaller print than this anyway.
CONS:
1. Although each verb comes with the English meaning, there is no way to look up a verb by its English meaning without flipping through the entire book. This quickly becomes really annoying. It would have taken the publisher a couple of hours and added only a few pages to the end of the book to include an index of the 501 verbs by English definition. This is by far the biggest problem with the book. Without this problem, this would be a five-star book. The way it is, it's about 3 1/2 stars.
2. Although the verbs are indexed at the back of the book and numbered 1-501, page numbers aren't listed to lead you to the verb. Even worse, although the index tells you what verb #70 (out of 501) is, there's no #70 written next to the verb in the body of the book! So the index numbering is completely useless. A big oversight.
3. To make this book even better, it would help to have (a) the plural of the verbal noun (masdar) listed (since these are often irregular) and (b) the prepositions that are used with each verb. I find that I have to look to the example sentences to sort out which preposition comes after each verb, and sometimes that doesn't even clear up the question.
4. There are a few typos to watch out for - I've noticed a couple of sukkuns that should actually be hamzas. But this is a very minor gripe - it's almost 100% correct as far as I can tell.

Build Your Arabic Vocabulary: 1,000 Key Words to Move Beyond Beginner Arabic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been working in Arabic instruction for years and this is just the kind of book students need to move beyond beginning vocabulary. The approach works for learners with a variety of learning styles. It's well thought-out and clear in its presentation. I've written Arabic instruction materials myself, and I must say, I'm a little jealous of the author's accomplishment! There are not many resources out there that can be used with or without an instructor. This book can serve either kind of learner well.
