Yes, EASYReviewed by hdmcg, 2008-08-10
Your Arabic Made Easy program is a joy to work with. After studying
Arabic (self taught) for a few years, I could read Arabic on a
second grade level, but could never keep a spoken conversation
going.
My Egyptian friend thinks I'm a genius to be learning so fast -
this is really excellent software!

Arabic Made Easy is an interactive CD-ROM that teaches formal
written and spoken Arabic. It is designed with both the beginner
through advanced student in mind. Learn the formal Arabic alphabet
and beginning reading and writing principles. Practice the Egyptian
dialect through exciting and realistic street scenes. Arabic Made
Easy delivers more instruction, more effectively than many other
higher priced products on the market today.
This is not a complete course, but its a good place to start,
especially since so many get stuck on the alphabet. This CD will
teach you the accurate pronunciation of the alphabet - at your own
pace. Once you've learned pronunciation and reading, the dialogue
section is a lot of fun! You'll like the graphics of the Egyptian
city: the market place, food, friends, hotel, even the taxi! It's a
cultural experience.
Arabic Made Easy is EasyReviewed by Anonymous, 2002-03-05
This CD is good for the beginning Arabic student because of the
good sound quality for the diction, the challenging exercises, the
precise annotation of the symbols (great graphics!) and there are
some fun games as well.
There are two drawbacks: 1. The "repeat" and "previous" commands
take the exercises back to the very beginning of the section as
opposed to the previous symbol. And 2. You cannot print out the
information in the help section such as the alphabet.
However, to put a positive spin on the "repeat" and "previous"
commands, since you are taken back to the beginning of the
exercise, you get a good review of the symbols, vocabulary, etc.
you were currently working with.
Also, since you cannot print out the alphabet or whatever is needed
from the help menu, you have to copy the information down by hand.
Writing the information down by rote is an infinitely better
learning tool for memorization, especially for a foreign language,
than staring at a computer screen. Then you have a hard copy of the
exercise for study away from the computer screen.
This CD is a good information guide for the street life in the
Middle East for those of us who will most likely never get to visit
the area. I am enjoying it immensely.
