5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for learning Arabic idioms, June 9, 1998
This review is from: Advanced Standard Arabic through Authentic Texts and Audiovisual Materials: Part Two, Audiovisual Materials (Pt. 2) (Paperback)
Having studied Arabic at degree level and now teaching the language as a non-native speaker to foreigners, I would thoroughly recommend this book to advanced learners of Arabic.

1.0 out of 5 stars no audiovisual no use, December 4, 2010

This review is from: Advanced Standard Arabic through Authentic Texts and Audiovisual Materials: Part Two, Audiovisual Materials (Pt. 2) (Paperback)
without the audiovisual this book is nothing but a bunch of questions related to the video and audio cassettes that is supposed to come with it . And even if you have the audiovisual you need a teacher to tell you if you answered correctly or not. There are some audiovisuals that are crucial to the book , and some not. Very crucial in this case. I dont think i would be impressed even if it came with the audiovisual cassettes. Watch algezeera on you tube and you will be good to go.
