Ik heb geen flauw idee hoe je anders Arabisch zou aanleren. Ik vond het alvast eens aangenaam, soms ietwat verwarrend en ook geen inhoudstafel grr!
Nu heb ik stress en ben ik mijn huisgenoot, maar eerst en vooral vriend, Elias te ambeteren.

As an Egyptian .. I find that this book is very good to simplify learning Arabic for non-speakers, and I think it needs new editions that are better on the visual level because the edition that I read is old since 1992, was visually uncomfortable despite the quality of the content.

I have started learning Arabic twice - when living in Egypt, and some 10 years later, when living in Aby Dhabi. This is a great book with tons of explanations and exercises, supplied by CDs. IF I was more motivated to actually know the language, I know I would have been much a success with the help of this set. Highly recommended!
PS I bought this box of a book and CDs at the bookstore of the American University in Cairo.

for gradually mounting that learning curve of semitic languages.... I love this series.

This really helped me a lot. While not "fluent", it gave me a good base from which to jump off.

A decent guide through Modern Standard Arabic, but bear in mind that if you're going to a Levantine or Gulf country, this book will not prove to be very useful.
