Great Arabic program for beginners + December 14, 2008
Ioanna Borgos (USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the best program I have found in Modern Standard Arabic to reinforce knowledge learned. While it could be used as a stand alone program, it is best used in tandem with classwork. That being said, this program is light-years ahead of Rosetta Stone for Arabic which I have found to be pretty useless for Arabic learning. Rosetta Stone only reviews words that you have to guess from the pictures(they are often very confusing), and Rosetta does not offer a vocabulary book or grammar which is essential in learning any language. I like Pimsleur programs; but, unfortunately they do not make one for MSA, only for the dialects. Tell Me More is an awesome program because it makes learning fun and interactive for those who get bored easily. It is especially good for kinestic and visual learners because there is a heavy influence of Auditory learning with this program that helps pronounce words correctly and helps learners who find listening alone a hard way to learn.
The way the program works is that it has several levels to work with and takes the learner through different topics: if you want to learn about the weather - click on that section; about families -click on that section. Because it is so organized, it is easy to focus on topics that you want to review. Furthermore, there are about 10 activities to do per topic. For example, you can review the vocabulary, take a test using the words in sentences, learn how to pronounce words by comparing your voice to a natives (the best function of the program), learn new grammar, etc. It is a very easy product to use as well (basically install and everything is ready to go - make sure you by a good headset as well) This is definitely a program worth its price!
Not for absolute beginners June 18, 2008
Just a girl (Concord, CA USA)
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This product is great, but it is not for absolute beginners. It expects you to already know how to read the alphabet, understand what all the markings mean, and know basic words.
I like this program because it reinforces your knowledge and teaches you more through exercises and puzzles. It also records your voice and highlights the word in the phrase you need to work on. I found out that many of the words were pronounced differently than I thought. This is good because you hear the real pronunciation, not just your classmate's attempts. And you can hear the word or phrase as many times as you'd like.
The program runs great on one of my computers, but on the other computer it displays the letters unattatched and from left to right, instead of right to left. There is probably a cure for this, though.
If you already know how to read arabic and understand basic words, this program is great.
Unlike Rossetta Stone, I can use it on more than one computer. So when I buy a new computer, it will transfer.
