This review is from: Your First 100 Words Arabic w/Audio CD (Your First 100 Words In...Series) (Paperback)

I am using this on my own in preparation for college level Arabic classes and so far it's been pretty helpful re: pronunciation but the narrator's voice on the CD grates upon my nerves and the English instructions are too drawn out (thus less time for Arabic). The book itself is good because it has large type and flashcards you can cut out. My main quibble with the book: ugly graphics. Overall it is very helpful but it's not enjoyable to listen to ... unlike Pimsleur.
