Product Description

From the Manufacturer

In Europe, it's no secret that the vast majority of people are either bilingual or trilingual. The Euro Method is the easy and simple way many Europeans learn to speak a second language. Based on the same tried and proven techniques that allow a four-year old to learn to speak a language long before that same child can read or write, Instant Immersion Arabic is guaranteed to be the best method for learning to speak Arabic quickly. For years, linguists have known that an immersion environment is the absolute fastest way to learn a second language. The concept is based on being surrounded by native speakers and a new culture. The two CD-ROMs enclosed, Talk Now! and World Talk, simulate these aspects and will move you from a beginner to intermediate speaker fast.

Talk Now! Arabic--Designed for beginners who want to start learning a new language as soon as possible. Whether on business, vacation, or perhaps meeting a foreign visitor, Talk Now! is the disc to get you started. By hearing and practicing authentic everyday speech, your natural ability for language will develop. This EuroTalk CD is designed to be fun. Research in the early 90's at the University of California revealed that memory is greatly improved when accompanied by fun and laughter. Our quizzes, games, and stories provide that, and you'll be amazed at how much you remember after a surprisingly short time devoted to the disc!

World Talk Arabic--The next level up from Talk Now! takes you onto the next stage with new activities, added dictation, and a brand new recording section. You'll cover topics including the calendar year, building sentences, asking directions, and using numbers. The interactive TV quiz is definitely a hit, where the resident champion may turn out to be more intelligent than you think! You can also compare your skill with a one-on-one match with a friend. With the unique recording feature, you can hear and compare your voice with a variety of native speakers. By mimicking the actors, you will soon see how rewarding language learning with EuroTalk is, as well as how fast you'll learn.

This review is from: Instant Immersion Arabic [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
While this program isn't going to teach you the Arabic alphabet or any written script it is a good introduction.

The most useful portions of this program help you learn numbers and colors. Plus you can learn some other helpful phrases, or maybe ask for directions.

If you don't want to spend a whole lot of money on some of the other programs out there and want to get a basic feel for the language this is a great alternative.

1.0 out of 5 stars Big Disappointment, March 9, 2005
This review is from: Instant Immersion Arabic [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
The first CD - Talk Now! - was nice for learning some basic vocabulary items and expressions. It's good to know before you buy it that you get nothing but vocabulary, no grammar at all. The second CD surprised me because I imagined it would be more of the same, but you can't use the second CD UNLESS YOU ALREADY KNOW ARABIC! That struck me as bizarre, since I expected the second to build on the first. But they were miles apart in level.

3.0 out of 5 stars average, November 27, 2004
This review is from: Instant Immersion Arabic [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
I give this CD series an average rating. initially i was quite disappointed because there was not an accompanying book to learn script. however, while the information is quite basic, it provides a good foundation for further study.
One should note though, that while the tapes do not specify, the instructors teach the Lebanese dialect and slang without also teaching proper arabic.
