Oh, one suggestion, it may be helpful to have an additional file that breaks down some the various intricacies of Arabic calligraphy types and letter combinations. Such as "alaf/lam" or "Meem/nuun" or when some of the letters build on each other they are very hard to read such as "kha/'ha/jiim" the stackable letters are off putting for first time readers, even after studying Arabic for a number of years certain cursives and fonts still fool me with the letters.
Thanks!
A good example could have been a break down of the Riqaa passage that was included in the lesson transcript!

A really great lesson that explains both complex Arabic grammar and vocabulary with a cultural history lesson. Fantastic! I wish that I had more time to be on the site, but I constantly download the audio files via iTunes and come here to get the transcripts. Looking forward for many more lessons! I'll come up with suggestions as well in the coming weeks!
