I cannot recommend this. Bad recordings! The audio is so bad it ruins everything else about this for me. Some of the speakers almost whisper and some make mistakes, but it's like they think they only get one take and carry on. Not helpful. I will always recommend Alif baa and Alkitaab, the new versions have both Egyptian and Levantine excursuses in them. I'm only still reading it because it's required for my class...
P.S. It's all written with latin letters... which sucks!

Great resource for learning Levantine/Eastern Arabic. Only downfall is that the pronounciation is not written with Arabic letters making it a bit ambiguous. However, this book and software paired with the Pimsleur program has helped me tremendously.
