Well to be honest with you Bro, the Madeenah books ideally should be studied with under a good teacher. The main lessons are in the Arabic textbooks while the English key is there to help the English students understand the lessons.

A good idea for starting off would be to go to the link the Brother posted, and on that site will be some audios - the Grammar ones are the ones you should be starting off with: http://ia341242.us.archive.org/2/items/zuiss/Grammar1/

^ It basically goes through the first ten lessons of Book one. It's not much, but still enough to get you started on Book one.
