This review is from: Instant Immersion Arabic (Arabic Edition) (Audio CD)

I have other language courses, in many languages. This Arabic course is straight to the point: grammer, conjugations, vocab - in large doses, colloquial phrases, long and short sentances, then stringing them into complete paragraphs without the English translation...PERFECT!

I love the clear and "easy to understand" dialect of the speaker, which I have been told is Lebanese.

The course shifts from phrases and sentances in both langauges, building them to complete paragraphs spoken in Arabic only. The verb conjugations are many, but NEEDED to reinforce this oft overlooked skill! [Pimsleur and so many other so called "complete" $200+ courses leave much to be desired with regards to verb conjugations - ahem].

My late high school Latin teacher, God rest his soul, would approve of the amount of conjugational drills in this course.

Well done Topics Entertainment!

This course is truly a masterpiece, and for the money, it stands all alone in terms of value, and greatly exceeds the more expensive courses in vitually all imaginable metrics. Buy it. Salam.
