I am interested in Learning Languages that do not use Latin alphabets--namely Arabic and Hebrew.

I understand that the Arabic language do not use vowels--only in teaching books and Qur'an

How would I go about it? PR Arabic Alphabet Books, then passively listen to Stadard Arabic teaching tapes ("Teach Yourself" series)and then go for the plung--try reading and or speaking. Any language learners--especially of Semetic Languages-- please reply.

Thank-you
