Title: a frustrating way to not learn Arabic
Product review: Don't get this cd. I bought it from Audible.com and thought it was completely worthless. It went WAY too fast, and for someone who's heard even a little Arabic (my husband is Syrian), most of this was unintelligible for me. For example, the way it taught numbers was "1, 2, 3" and said it all together, so I had no idea where one word started and the next one ended! Like I said, I've heard a little Arabic over the past few years, and most of the words I heard didn't mesh with anything I'd heard from my husband and his family.Granted, this is supposed to squish what you need to know in one hour, but don't waste your hour trying to figure out what these people are saying. Instead, check out what I ended up using to really learn Arabic - Formal Spoken Arabic (with the mp3 cd) - it's definitely worth your money.
