5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!, August 23, 2010
By 
S. Azzouz (Tetouan, Morocco) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Read and Speak Arabic for Beginners with Audio CD, Second Edition (Read and Speak Languages for Beginners) (Paperback)
I absolutely LOVE every thing that Jane Whitewick puts out. She makes learning Arabic easy and less stressful; especially the grammar! I had an "aha" moment when just thumbing thru her book BEFORE I even bought it on a Arabic grammar issue I had been trying to figure out for 18 months! I have to admit, that Jane's super strong British accent is kinda a distraction when hearing her speak and Mahmoud sounds kinda bizarre talking like a proper English gent sitting down to tea vs. the Arab he is; but after a while, you get over it. She knows how to rock a language and get you to learn it. She has done a recording for Arabic for the Michel Thomas Method and I have to say, because I found out it was her doing the lessons is why I bought it---she really knows her stuff. If you are desiring to learn Arabic with some ease and less stress, then I recommend you searching Amazon and buy all her books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, friendly introduction to arabic, February 15, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Read and Speak Arabic for Beginners with Audio CD, Second Edition (Read and Speak Languages for Beginners) (Paperback)
I found this method to be just the right level of challenge for a beginner. The vocabulary words presented are useful and the pace is easy, but quick enough to keep one's focus and the voices of the presenters are warm and friendly.

This set comprising a book and accompanying CD has given me the motivation and the confidence to continue studying Arabic. It's a great way to have a peek into the language, with no emphasis on Islam, as there sometimes is with other methods.
