Yes, it's a very valuable resource for improving your language skills. The drills are very thorough and will make you able to use the case endings and grammer principles fluently in speach. The drills are more extensive and thorough that the "orange book", Elementry Modern Standard Arabic, a popular audiolingual university text.
However, the language in the course is presented out of any real context (it was not designed as a complete course for Arabic learners, rather as homework for an intensive course), and the vocabulary is heavily biased towards politics/army. I'm using it now after having finished the linguaphone Arabic course and the first volume of EMSA, and I think although I wouldn't have wanted to start with this course, it is a great help now to continue improving my Arabic on my own. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
