| Websites for learning/Practicing Arabic Learn Arabic at Ajeeb.com: A very nice site for learning Arabic (or supplementing what you are learning. Lots of exercises, drills, very helpful! A wide variety of learning activities. (Note: it does contain music upon entering the site). Worth checking out, insha Allah.
Fun with Arabic: Site with nice introduction to the Arabic language and Arabic Alphabet. Also has section of recommended Arabic resources (books, etc). Might want to stay away from the alphabet song it has a lot of music, but other than that, it might be helpful (but not extremely).
Suggested books for learning Arabic: I am just learning Arabic myself, and have used/am using these books with my children with success. Masha Allah. While it is intimidating to teach something you barely know yourself, I have found that you don't need a lot of flash to teach Arabic. I tried that route and got burned out! (over and over again--worksheets, etc.). The books below are nice, basic, inexpensive books and I think the key is to be patient and keep repeating the material over and over again and always review, insha Allah! (and ask Allah to make it easy for you!)You can probably purchase these from the major Islamic bookstores.
