These language textbooks don't dick you around. (2014-07-02 14:08:11) :
Asked a linguist friend of mine what textbooks he'd recommend, and he gives the following:
[quote my friend]College Yiddish is a classic, but I'm also a big fan of Sheva Zucker's two-part Yiddish textbooks.
DeRijk, if that counts as a textbook, and Alan R. King's Elementary Basque or whatever it's called.
Genki is a beloved Japanese textbook for a reason, though I haven't used it much. I'm also a big fan of Learn Japanese the Manga Way, which is better as a reference text ...

Hello: Marhaban.
Let's look at it in a dialogue.
Ali: Marhaban, Amir.
Amir: Marhaban, Ali.
In Arabic, to say "hello", you say "marhaban". To make this more clear, let's take a look at some more examples:
Fatimah: Marhaban, Amir, Marhaban Ali.
Ali: Marhaban, Fatimah.
Amir: Marhaban, Fatimah. Kaifa haluki?
"Kaifa haluki?" means "How are you", but don't worry about that quite yet. For now, focus on "marhaban".

Yeaaaaahhhhhh, I'll get to that eventually. Sorry updates have been so weedy lately; I've been really overwhelmed at work and elsewhere. I've known about that particular problem for almost two weeks, which is why one of the news articles has a bunch of test comments on it.

According to the front page, the latest news article has 105 replies, when it doesn't. The article before that also has a weirdly inflated number of comments.

"Manual of Standard Tibetan" by Tournadre and Dorje is solid. It's what we used in my first-year Tibetan course and the standard, I believe, for learners of Modern Tibetan. Lots of good grammar description, including appendices on differences between registers of Tibetan and dialects of Tibetan.
