Extremely Helpful

this book is very well organized. I feel that I have a good start on the language.

Effective way to learn Arabic

Any additional comments?

This approach for learning a language is very effective. There is lots of repetition, help with pronunciation, and practical, daily uses of the language. I take a weekly in-person Arabic class, which has me focused on grammar rules and which makes me unable to produce the language due to the complexity of the grammar rules, This audio book has enabled me to actually produce the spoken language. If you are a stickler for grammar details, using just this audio book might stress you out since you might not understand some of the finer details. But if you are willing to learn the grammar a bit organically (or if you pair the book with a class as I do), you'll do great. I highly recommend it.

Effective way to learn a difficult language

Does a good job of stepping through basics of conversational arabic, including a useful application of certain basics of grammar.

Good learning method for my style of learning

I went through the first 20 lessons of the Pimsleur method and for my learning style this is the best approach.
During the day I randomly recall words and sentences that I have learned days before.
In my learning style I don't need to read or write, as I memorize mostly by listening.

I read the review of other readers and I guess it's a learning style preference.... some love it, some hate it.
But there is this one reviewer saying that the book wastes time on specifying the way how words change according to their gender. He probably speaks English as first language and does not understand the importance of words gender in other languages such as Arabic, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German etc... I guess he's still stuck at English as his only spoken language. It's not about Pimsleur method... he won't be able to learn any other language in any other way.

great program

directions part was the most difficult but let's be honest MSA is a difficult language.
