Not as interactive as others I’ve seen, and I’d like to see the Arabic words written in Arabic alphabet as well.

Thank you for this interesting short introduction to the language! I liked the idea of sorting letters, it really seems easier. Once i watched TV show on learning languages and one topic was exercised around 8 times. I think it might be helpful to give more examples or exercises.

It was interesting to get to know about Egyptian Arabic. Beautiful and funny words, I definitely need to do this course once more so that I really learn these phrases. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more, if the layout and graphics would have been more elegant, as I am very much into aesthetics. I think the instructors voice was pleasant and clear, and was easy to listen and follow. If I had time, I could easily move forward with these courses.

Excellent way of grouping and teaching the Arabic letters according to their similarity. Excellent "teaser" of Arabic for beginners and basic knowledge about the Egyptian dialect.

I like the fact I'm getting closer to pronunciation and the rythm is good, but my brazilian ears can tell no difference between a few sounds (like regular S and underlined S , for example) and is not being easy. Gh, Kh and Dh also sound very similar and as they are in different screens, is even harder to compare. Would be really great if there was a way for me to play each sound separately or something. I like it when you compare to English or French, as I have more proficiency on those languages, and even those I have zero proficience (as Hindi), those hints are good to understand a bit better the language tree.

I like the style it is clear and easy to follow. But when you give examples about arabic words you don´t always tell what they mean and you don´t show how you write them in arabic
