Each of the 22 units contains:
(1) a dialog or basic text built around a single topic of interest,
(2) a translation of the text into English,
(3) new vocabulary occurring in the text,
(4) additional vocabulary related to the vocabulary in part three,
(5) new grammatical points in the text,
(6) pronunciation (included in the first 9 units only), and
(7) practice drills. Unit 15 provides a review, and an Arabic-English glossary is appended.
