 very helpful Aug 27, 2008
THis is a great way to learn arabic. Different approach, makes you repeat quite a lot but i realized that what i learned i remember and that when i visited egypt a few times people understood what i said
Excellent for those intending on visiting Egypt Jul 23, 2008
I decided to learn some Arabic before a two week holiday to Egypt. What I learnt from these lessons made such a difference to my time (and enjoyment) in Egypt. You only learn the basic tourist Arabic but it's enough. The locals understood my pronunciation and were very impressed. I was treated differently (better) than my fellow travelers. I wasn't hassled as much and the locals seemed more interested in me than selling me something!
Be patient though. As the language was so foreign to me, I had to listen to the first CD several times before I felt comfortable with the learnings but it became easier with each CD.
My only negative was that it was too short. I would have liked to learn more.

Great, if slightly boring... Jan 09, 2007
I've made it most of the way through the CDs, and I feel that I've retained 99% of the vocabulary. The program uses hypothetical conversations to teach both vocabulary and grammar - a method which seems to work very well for my brain. The "teacher" guides you, sentence-by-sentence, through a conversation (repetition is key) until you can handle one side of the conversation on your own. The conversations themselves are a bit unimaginative - but one can't fault them too much for that (especially since they contain very useful everyday vocabulary). Overall, a very useful resource!

 Best system for learning languages Jun 28, 2006
I've taken classes in Egyptian Arabic in the past but found their curriculum to be too 'dense'. You're expected to learn vocabulary and grammer points at an unnatural rate. On the otherhand, Pimsleur courses are slow and methodical. You'll only know a few words at the end of the ten lessons but you'll know them like the back of your hand. The complete course is highly recommended as well but try to see if you're local library carries it first before buying it.
BTW if you are interested in the type of Arabic found in the Quran, I've written a short book called 'Introduction to Quranic Arabic' that can be found at:

Great place to start... Feb 27, 2006
I am dating a guy from Egypt, and the majority of his family speak little or no English. I decided to try to start learning Egyptian Arabic to be better able to converse with all of them. Although learning any language is going to take far longer than a month or two (which is how long I have had the CD's) I think that this is a GREAT place to start. They really stress pronunciation, and help you retain what you have learned by subtle reviews. My boyfriend and his family have been SO impressed by what I have learned and what I am now able to understand and contribute to the conversation. I guess that is the best test of all!! Over all, I would reccomend this product highly.
