YouTube Video on Arabic Letters:    • Learn Arabic Alphabet by Madinah Arabic  

STAGE 2 - Foundation in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA):
Al-Kitaab: popular textbook which we also used at Cambridge, though I think a bit boring and slow, particularly for self-study. amzn.eu/d/9LzpIIp
Deheuvels Arabe Moderne: A straightforward and quick-progress textbook we used at the Sorbonne, great for French speakers. amzn.eu/d/58fmYld
Mastering Arabic: A good self-study option, accessible for beginners. www.bloomsburyonlineresources.com/mastering-arabic…
