 Not crazy about this program July 21, 2006

I've used the Instant Immersian line for Italian, and I liked it a lot. However, I'm not particularly crazy about the Arabic Audio CD. If you're a novice to the Arabic Language these CDs are a bit too fast, boring and difficult to follow. The dialogues are done in Arabic first then in English, so you're repeating phrases over and over with no clue as to what they mean until interpreted in English. Then the dialogues are of obscure phrases you probably won't use like "How old is your father", "My father passed away 7 years ago" I would have preferred more basic and useful phrases. I suppose listening to it over and over again you'll begin to pick up a few words here and there out of the conversations. This is CD is better suited for an intermediate Arabic Speaker.

I found this CD set to be a great supplement to studying Arabic. However, if one were to try and use this CD set as their only tool for learning the language it would be extremely difficult. I listen to this CD while driving in the car and have found the exposure it gives to the language great, but I also have 2-4 hours of Arabic classes per week. If you just wanted basic phrases, I would try the Read and Speak Arabic for Beginners.

The first CD starts out well and the grammar lessons are great, but as the CD goes into the "prasebook" part, it becomes difficult to follow (the female speaker, especially, speaks too fast). Oh well, I did pick up a few things at least!

I bought these CD's about a year back and was completely unimpressed. Although it may cover a lot of material, the lessons are difficult and boring to follow. I'd highly recommend Pimsleur's Eastern Arabic - it provides good, everyday phrases you'll need, and can truly have you speaking like a native if you practice enough.
 Very Good October 25, 2005
