Nice but somewhat lacking
While it does give a nice overview of the material, some history and presentation of different styles, the instructions remind me of the meme "How to draw an owl". It could have been made clearer for a beginner. Someone already pointed some mistakes but I'd like to point what I consider a big one if you want to go further. When presenting the رقعة script, it is said to be "riqa" and not to be confused with "ruq'ah", said to derive from thuluth. But it's the reverse: رقعة is ruq'ah and the thuluth derivative is riqa'. I could take a glance at the original version and the mistake is only in the translation.
