What is the fastest way to learn Arabic? Is the Rosetta Stone program good?

Question

I think I can get access to that for free but would like to know if it really teaches you a language, at least some basics, quickly.

Answer 1

I speak a couple of languages and experimented with Rosetta.  For quick learning of key words and phrases, I think it's quite good.  Not that useful when you reach what I'd call an intermediate level, though, because the system relies exclusively on exposure to the language, as opposed to actual instruction.

If you can get it for free, try it out.  Within an hour you'll know if it's for you or not.

Answer 2

Yes go for Arabicollege,i study there too,its the best among all...

Answer 3

if you are looking for a fast way to learn arabic and it should be a helpful and useful one nothing is better than learning Arabic from native Arabic teachers,this is based on my experience with Arabicollege.com where i had Arabic sessions as live video sessions with teachers who are available 24/7 ,i also improved a lot as a result of practicing my Arabic pronounciation and speaking with others colleagues who were studying Arabic too at Arabicollege by chatting with them on the learning community,there you have a free trial also ..go ahead and try it then you can decide..

Good luck.
