Not bad for very beginners

I am little more than a beginner and I've seen a lot of Arabic textbooks. Some reviewers were too harsh in my opinion. First, it's a simple guide and no stress introduction. Dialogs are good, with 2 rates - natural and slow. I'd prefer ALL dialogues to be recorded, not just selected as it is very important. The simpler version of standard Arabic is chosen with no case endings, which is the feature of spoken dialects. I wouldn't use 2 versions of romanisation but only one - standard and I would provide the Arabic text as well, at least for reference. It's not classical or Koranic Arabic but it's a more or less standard Arabic of modern media, also used by many foreign learners and it's not colloquial either (not spoken dialects). It's probably very difficult to choose a version of Arabic to suit all learners.
