1. TITLE OF THE BOOK

العربية بين يديك
Arabic (language) between your hands

ال = the

sometimes it is pronounced totally like al-arabiyyah, but sometimes it is pronounced only with "a" like asy-syamsu (not al-syamsu)

--to be discussed later--

َبَيْن = between
ٌيَد = hand (one) , يَدَيْكَ = both of your hands

IMPORTANT:

Book: كِتَابٌ
When ال comes before it, the " ٌ  " (dhommatain) at the last letter (ب) should be only " ُ  " (dhommah)

OTHER EXAMPLES:

طَالِبٌ = (one) student

طَالِبَانِ = two students

طُلاَبٌ = (more than two) students

So, english is difference with arabic.
In the arabic language, we have three forms:

single form (مُفْرَدٌ)
double form (مُثَنَّى)
plural form (جَمْعٌ)

--> So when it is said "plural" in arabic, it means "3 and more".
We cannot say it is "two and more", because there is "مُثَنَّى" , dual, specially for "2").
