Customer Reviews
Shame about the Arabic!
This could potentially have been a great book had it not been for the poor quality Arabic used. There are some significant linguistic errors and some vocabulary presumably incorrectly imported from Moroccan colloquial Arabic. It's very good however for teaching key phrases and verbs in a clear consise way and getting to the essentials of language enabling rapid acquisition of very basic comversational skills. The stickers are also a great idea. My advice to the author would be to employ a language editor with even a high school knowledge of classical Arabic to go over the errors and fix them, making it a great book!
Good for beginners
If you are an arabic beginner working on your own, and want something that goes beyond As salaam alaykum but is not too academic, this is a good place to start. The reviewer who complains of technical errors may be correct but the marking is too harsh. My main criticism is that there are very limited pronunciation examples on the CD - no conversations, just individual words - it is a CDROM for your PC not audio.
