Arabic made accessible

Would you consider the audio edition of Rapid Arabic (Modern Standard Arabic) to be better than the print version?

I loved this audio book, the combination of repetition and music makes learning fun, also the two narrators make the book feel more like a language class rather than a bland audio book

Who was your favorite character and why?

Both narratirs were excellent, they speak very clearly and approach teaching in a way that makes it fun

Which character – as performed by Marlon Lodge – was your favourite?

I liked all of the excercises

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

it was all very good

Any additional comments?

I would reccommmend this book and series to other readers

Nothing rapid about this learning technique!

Would you try another book written by earworms Learning or narrated by Marlon Lodge?

Despite the promising title and a very real need to learn Arabic (OH's family are Arabic speakers), I was disappointed with this audio book. I think you'd need to be a natural linguist to pick up the language - and listening to it time after time will be as boring a hell!

What will your next listen be?

Much as I'd hoped this would be the solution to my Arabic dilemma, I wouldn't choose another ear worms audiobook unless I already had a genuine feel for the language

Would you be willing to try another one of Marlon Lodge’s performances?

I'd never say never, but the chances of me trying another audio book in this series are pretty low. Sorry.

What character would you cut from Rapid Arabic (Modern Standard Arabic)?

Don't know really - perhaps the flirty couple, which was a bit of a hackney'd device.

Not the method I like

Please I would like to learn Arabic! Why you need to repeat every word 6 times? ...and the last with sound effects?! Don't waste your money.

The pronunciation is terrible!

The pronunciation is very poor. I'm an Arabic speaker and I bought this for my husband - but it is so poorly pronounced throughout that it incredibly misleading and unhelpful. The female 'teacher' clearly isn't a native Arabic speaker.
