From what I've seen in their forum, people who finish all three books still aren't comfortable speaking Arabic.
But I imagine these books are very good for getting a strong foundation in grammar.

Although I have never seen the Hugo Arabic in 3 months course, I have the Hugo Spanish Complete course in front of me, and I like the systematic grammar presentation. Assuming that the Hugo Arabic course follows the same format, I wonder if it would not be a better course to learn grammar and conversational Arabic at the same time.

Yeah. Hugo teaches Egyptian Arabic, unfortunately. :)

EDIT:
So I looked it up on Amazon, just to be certain, and it turns out I was wrong. Hugo actually teaches the Levantine dialect.
