Comments about Arabic (East) Phases 1-3:
The Pimsleur program is a great way to get started speaking and understanding Levantine (Eastern) Arabic. I listened to each thirty-minute lesson at least once, usually in my car on the way to work. I also supplemented the program by listening to as much authentic spoken Arabic as I could (usually Lebanese movies, TV shows, and music).
After finishing all three units, I'm still far from fluent, but I can converse to a certain degree with my wife's family from Palestine and Lebanon. They love it, and they're impressed with how much I learned in just three months of using Pimsleur. They did have to help me with pronunciation a bit, but Arabic is such a different language, that's not a surprise.
The best thing about Pimsleur is that it gets you speaking fast, and I felt the whole time that I was learning a lot of material and learning it quickly. At the end of the program, you will still be a beginner, but with the lack of materials out there for learning Levantine Arabic, I can't imagine a better way to get started. I recommend the program whole-heartedly.

It works very quickly and effectively. If it goes at pace that's too fast, just review the lesson twice, before moving on.

Comments about Arabic (Eastern) I-III:
The Pimsleur Program is incredibly effective in teaching all the necessities of mastering a language from the repetition, to the intonations and proper pronunciations, to the important words needed for basic conversation; it is exceptional. I have highly recomended it to many people and also will continue to do so with confidence and sincerity.
