About the Book. Written by Heather Amery and illustrated by Stephen Cartwright, First Thousand Words in Arabic belongs to Usborne's much-loved First Thousand Words series, a format that has introduced millions of children worldwide to new languages through pictures rather than lists. The book is organised thematically, guiding readers through familiar settings such as the home, classroom, playground, park, and supermarket. Within each busy scene, dozens of everyday objects are individually labelled in Arabic script alongside their English translation, with a Roman-letter pronunciation guide to help beginners sound out unfamiliar words with confidence. A dedicated section explains the Arabic alphabet, while a full English/Arabic word list at the back offers a handy reference for quick look-ups. This visual, contextual approach helps children absorb vocabulary naturally, associating words with the pictures and situations they describe rather than memorising isolated terms. It's a format that works equally well for total beginners taking their first steps in Arabic and for children already learning the language at home or in school, and its enduring popularity has made it a staple on bilingual family bookshelves and in language classrooms for years.. 1,000 everyday words covering people, places, animal
