This review is from: Fun with Arabic: Learn Arabic the Fun and Easy Way (CD-ROM)

"Fun with Arabic" is a very well-produced self-paced program for those who want to get a quick introduction to Arabic and see if the language meets their fancy. This program goes particularly well with Awde & Samano's 'The Arabic Alphabet: How to read and write it." A very very brief grammar overview module is included. Sound quality is good, with both male and female speakers. I am extremely well-pleased with what I got for my money on this one!

It is easy to use and detailed. I would have liked if it would have came with a few more conversational vocabulary words to make it excellent.

This review is from: Fun with Arabic: Learn Arabic the Fun and Easy Way (CD-ROM)

I haven't really seen the CD's. But this is the full version of what's available on the website funwitharabic. With the exception of the alphabet song, I have two major comments on this CD:
- First, it teaches many words in colloquial Egyptian Arabic. Which is fine if that was your purpose.
- Second, and more importantly, it has many inappropriate words that I would not teach to kids. Many of them revolve around going out, beer, sheesha, etc. While the alphabet song was nice and might give the impression it's done for kids, but the rest of the material is certainly not suitable.

Be careful and check the website before buying the CDs.
