DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO EDIT THE POLL CHOICES???!?!
I wanted to remove the Orange Michigan EMSA course and Linguaphone on the poll and replace them with Living Language Ultimate Arabic and the Cornell Younes Course. Seems like once the poll choices are done it isn't editable though. Is it possible to edit the poll choices?? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

2/2011 update:
I have sampled/studied most of the choices reviewed so far on the list. Believe it or not, I have found Ultimate Arabic : Language/dp/1400020824/ref=tmm_pap_title_2?ie=UTF8&qid=12977 18819&sr=8-1">Ultimate Arabic and Living Language Complete Arabic: The Basics : ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1297718891&sr=8-2">Complete Arabic ( which was an absolute STEAL for 5 bucks used on Amazon!) the most useful to this point for self study. I have gotten through Lesson 7 of each and I can already understand little bits and pieces of news clips on Al Jazeera and RT news. They actually complement each other nicely and give a good MSA baseline vocabulary. The annoying things are; with Ultimate Arabic - WHY only 15 units of MSA ?!?!?! WHY?!?!?!! The course would have been SOOOO much better to do 40 MSA lessons then produce mini-courses of each of the dialects. Does anyone really learn a smattering of every dialect?!?! ... And with Complete Arabic - why no written Arabic? The transliteration is really strange as well. It uses an "x" for 'ayn - HUH?!! Still, they are both great for self study. My plan is to complete the 15 units of each and then... sigh ... tackle Al Kitaab. Al Kitaab really seems to be the only course than takes learners past a low-intermediate level. I suppose the MSA course would as well, but it is sooooo dry and the tape recordings are pretty crackly and fatigue the ears after a while. A new edition of Al-Kitaab is also apparently coming out this spring. Perhaps it will have some useful updates, inshallah!!

Good question! As far as the experience with my own polls goes, I would say that it's impossible to edit a poll afterwards. Or has anybody ever edited a poll? Fasulye 1 person has voted this message useful |
