This is the eighth session of an eighteen-lesson course for absolute beginners wishing to learn Arabic. In this lesson, you will gain further practice in joining the letters in their beginning, middle and final form from zaay (zayn) to yaa', covering pages 33 to 41 of the book. Once you feel confident in knowing how to join all the letters of the alphabet, you may wish to listen again to the audio tracks from this lesson and lesson seven (without looking at the video) and use them for dictation practice.

The course as a whole is based on the book 'Arabic from the Beginning: Part One' by Dr. Imran Hamza Alawiye, which is available from the publisher's website: www.gatewaytoarabic.com. The course teaches everything you need to know to read and write the Arabic script, as well as useful Arabic phrases.
