Why read Book 1 here instead of the PDF?
A PDF of Madinah Book 1 is inert — you can't search it, the answer key lives in a separate file, and the dictionary is a third tab. Here the Arabic, its verb tables, noun tables, translation, English key and exercise solutions render together on every page. Search any word across the whole book, tap any verb for real example sentences, then study the page as flashcards.
