A Best Buy for Arabic Students
By Keith Otis Edwards
First, a word of warning. Although basic Arabic words are not as difficult as they may appear, and the alphabet is actually easy (really !), Arabic grammar is infinitely more complex than that of any Romance language or even German. Young people have a natural affinity for learning new languages, but older people will find it takes far more than a mere "10 minutes a day" to make any progress at all.
A second warning is that there is a greater variance in Arabic dialects than can be found in English. Not only does the pronunciation vary, but the words are different as well. A case in point is that I walked into my local Lebanese eatery and, while waiting for the food, requested of my waitress, "I want pepper," which this book teaches as, "Oreedo felful."
The Lebanese waitress (who spoke only some English) had never heard the word *oreedo* before, and she brought me a plate of Jalapeño peppers. I asked the same of the Egyptian waitress, and she too had never heard of *oreedo,* and her word for pepper was *flay-flay.* After a discussion with the entire staff, they told me that the word for a cellar of ground, black pepper was *b'har.* (This is incorrect, and the proper word for black pepper is *felful aswed.*)
As for "I want," by following a mother garbed in traditional Muslim dress around a supermarket, I observed her toddlers yanking at her dress, pointing at brightly-colored sweets (deliberately placed on lower shelves) and screaming "Badi! B'diiiii!" That is how I learned the Levantine word for "I want," but *badi* does not appear in this book. *Fil Maatam* (at the restaurant) I often hear patrons ask, "Wain al hammam?" ("Where is the restroom?") But this book gives the word *eyena* for "Where?" and recommends asking for *al meerHaaD* when "in a restaurant or public facility."
Absolutely no one, Lebanese or Egyptian, at the restaurant (where I enjoy the daily lunch special) understood a phrase from the book, *Meta na koo loo* -- "When do we eat" (I was growing impatient), but the book fails to provide a common word, *Yellah!* ("Hurry up!") which is understood by all. I suppose that the book tries to keep things polite, because another common phrase conspicuously absent is *Shu baddak?* ("What do you want?")
One day, in frustration, I took this book to the restaurant and asked the girls why they were unfamiliar with so many words I had learned from the lessons, and they consulted with each other, then announced dismissively, "That's ARABIC Arabic!"
Similarly, a casual greeting given in the book is *Marhaba,* and that's generally understood among Lebanese, Palestinians and Egyptians, but an Iraqi I know (who, incidentally, was once confined to the infamous Abu Ghraib prison, although he's the most honest person I've ever met -- I met him when my friend left his wallet in the Iraqi's *ah-taaksee*) informs me that in Iraq, nobody says *marhaba,* they say *shlonik.*
So it is that if you embark on a study of Arabic using this book, you will be learning a language that is spoken in no land and among no people, except for perhaps academics. As well think of learning Latin.
But this problem is just as true of every other Arabic study book I've seen and also the Rosetta Stone Arabic Level 1 software at ten-times the price! So If your mind is still set on learning Arabic, this is not only the best book I've seen, but also the easiest and among the least expensive.
It contains an adequate set of flashcards, a lot of small stickers that you can paste around the house (although they have a remarkably non-aggressive glue which allows them to fall off soon) to identify Arabic words for everyday objects, and an adequate CD-ROM (which you install on your computer). It runs on Flash®.
The CD-ROM is not great. It's superb for learning the cardinal numbers 1 to 10, but not as good for higher numbers. (Again, the Lebanese use different names for numbers 11 through 15.); it's excellent for learning the names of colors (although the native speaker who pronounces these names is cut off at the beginning of "brown"; thus, when she reads *boonee,* it is heard as "oonyee."
There are only two other animated lessons on the CD-ROM -- (1.) a very long lesson of verbs, pronouns, conversational phrases and opposites, and (2.) the names of objects, and these are presented 23 at a time. That's far too many to learn at once, and so this part of the program is less useful, by which I mean more difficult.
Despite all this, if you have frequent interaction with those of the Arab persuasion, I encourage you to buy this book. (If you purchase it used, first inquire if the stickers and CD-ROM are still part of the package.) If you studied a foreign language in school and hated it, be assured that this is more fun, because you can put it to immediate use. When you pull into a gas station, it's a hoot to walk up to the window, and when the clerk asks you the number of your pump, you can loudly proclaim, *Arrrb'-a*!

Wonderful with good resources!
By S.A.Johnson
I really like the way this book immerses the reader into Arabic. Kershu slips in Arabic words in the midst of English explanations, so before you realize it, you're learning another Arabic word. Also this book teaches the script along with the transliteration; a necessary tool for mastery. You are taught useful and important words, questions, phrases first--very good for those not just interested in getting by for a Middle Eastern visit. The audio is also very quite good. Highly recommend.

Bought This as a Gift
By Gankaku
I bought this as a gift for my husband who wants to learn Arabic. He's been also learning from native speakers. He said the writing/script was off from the pronunciation given in the book. (He knows how to read Arabic already). He showed me too (I can read Arabic as well). He said "How do you pronounce this?" (the Arabic script). I told him and he said "Right. Now look at how they want you to pronounce it." and it was incorrect. It was like that with most of the teaching in the book.
He found that very annoying and has stopped using this book. Right now he's using an online site which he likes much better, until we find him a book that has proper pronunciation. He did use the stickers to place around the household items, though.
