3.0 out of 5 stars Good for aural review of Arabic; yet difficult as no english for comparison, July 10, 2009

This review is from: Al-Kitaab Part One Audio On the Go (Arabic Edition) (CD-ROM)

If you are studying with Al-Kitaab, this is a real helpful on-the-go downloadable CD (i.e. ipod) that can contribute to aural exposure of the language. However, it is challenging to use. For example: vocabulary lists. The new arabic vocabulary word is stated, repeated and then used in a sentence. However, the new word is not translated to english, so one must already know the meaning of the sentence, or most of it, to then guess what the new word means. Thus, limited use.

Nonetheless, the Al-Kitaab series of instruction is the best on the market, and the one that all top universities and arabic programs use. This CD should not be used to learn arabic, but instead as a supplement to the program. It also contains EXACTLY the same info on the CD that comes with the book -- but since the CD with the book is not downloadable, this comes in real handy.

Worth the investment.

If you are using Al-Kitaab and not also in an Arabic class, I'd say the audio on the go CD is a must. It's the dialogues and exercises from the DVD that comes with the book, but you can take it wherever you go on your MP3 player. Very helpful.

Having these Al Kitaab audio tracks has allowed me to study and do the homework for my arabic class in a much more flexible way than I would have been able to if I had been tied to the DVD. I commute on public transit daily and I prefer not to have my computer out on the bus, but this CD has allowed me to work using my iPod. I highly recommend this to anyone studying Arabic with Al Kitaab.
