 Absolutely horrible and useless! December 23, 2007

I bought this thinking it would be useful next time I get deployed, as I am an Army reservist, and soon found that it was a complete waste of money. This is obviously marketed toward military and contractors, but I found it to be limited to a few dozen words and phrases only useful to a casual tourist, and lacking even for that use. I then decided to learn what Punjabi I could in preparation for going to a Sikh temple with an acquaintance, and all I could say is "What the hell is this?" This is not a joke. I am serious about this. For Punjabi greetings, these clowns actually had recordings of someone with a Punjabi accent repeating English greetings! I know a lot of Indians speak English, since it is one of their official languages, but that is no excuse for this kind of fraud. Please avoid this product at all costs. It is not worth the money at any price. With this and the overdubbed videos, which are just annoying, and the total lack of pronunciation guidance, I would avoid anything put out by this company, Topics Entertainment. I would advise them to stick to entertainment, but I suspect they would not be able to handle that either. I would like to add that the only reason I have rated them with 1 star is because the review system would not accept a lower rating. I wanted to rate them zero stars for this fraudulent piece of trash.

This CD set is great! I am learning Arabic for a better job. My daughter and I know some Arabic from marriage. However, this CD set makes learning so much better. It is fun to learn with this pack. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to learn. If they have other sets besides this one in other languages I am sure they are probably the same and would recommend it. I plan on getting the French one for my daughter.
