Within each unit are seven to eight 'to the point' lessons dealing with conversational Arabic, reading, vocabulary and linguistic structures, applied grammar, spelling and dictation, review and reinforcement and finally cultural enrichment.
In addition each of textbook contains a supplement of 4 to 5 units focusing on Islamic themes.

The third student's book consists of 5 units, and each unit has 5 lessons, so that in total, the book has 25 lessons. Each unit ends with a comprehensive test over the skills presented in the unit. Each lesson focuses on a text which presents linguistic activities. These texts vary between stories and conversations, with each unit including three stories, a conversation, and a short informative passage.

The I Love Arabic Series comes to you from expert language teachers living in over 41 European countries. It focuses on teaching the Arabic language to non-native speakers, especially benefiting those who have little time to commit to Arabic throughout the weekdays, and makes learning easy by covering several educational levels: Kindergarten level for ages 3-5 years old and levels 1-6 for ages 6-11 years old. Three systematic divisions (sounds, words and syntactical structure, and conversational practices) enable the learner to generate language accurately in a variety of highly successful modern techniques. These focus sections present the Arabic language clearly and inclusively to meet the needs of Western learners. This curriculum develops fluency by communication, discovery, realization, and then application.
