great method, poor content choices January 24, 2008

Having studied arabic in college for over three years, I was disappointed in the highly acclaimed rosetta stone. The technique used is truly ingenius - if I ever want to learn another language, rosetta will be my first stop. However, this arabic course does NOT offer normal conversational arabic; not one arabic speaker in the world pronounces words the way they are presented here. The arabic in this course is unabridged fuS-ha, which is ONLY used (even then only in certain areas) when reciting the Quran. I cannot undertand why they chose to offer arabic in this way, but it was clearly a choice made by someone with no knowledge of the language. Using FuS-ha anywhere in the Mid East is like using King James english in the deep South, only much more so. Why, Rosetta Stone, why? Is your focus audience comprised only of novice Imams?

This product is sold as licensed software. Users will NOT be able to load it onto more than one computer. This aspect of the product is not clear from the blurbing on the Rosetta Stone website. It is a "single-user" product.
Don't think that you can share this with friends, or that it is appropriate for a lending collection.
 Its Modern Standard Arabic, teaching the alphabet, its good. November 22, 2007

I'm learning a lot and it seems to be doing very well on teaching the alphabet, which is one of the hardest parts. I do have a "How to Write Arabic" book that is a great companion that I refer to during the Rosetta Stone sessions. Right now I'm 30% into the Rosetta Stone level 1. I've had it for 3 weeks and work on it about 3 hours/day. I would think by the end of Level 1 it will equate to a semester of college level Arabic. I've done the Pimseleur Audio CD's, which was the Syrian dialect and sounds different, so be very specific with other adjuncts you buy depending on where you're going.
