Dissapointing package (8/8 people found this helpful)
I bought these cards hoping to improve my vocabulary (that's usually what flash cards are for), only to discover that only the first 50 cards include some useful nouns and words. ALL the rest of the cards are verbs (e.g. to drink, to walk, to cough!). This means that if you want to buy this pack to learn words like "tree" and "milk" etc DON'T bother.
If you are still reading because you want to improve your verbs then there are still more problems. The box states that the verbs are in order of regularity of use. This isn't true the verbs are mostly in alphabetical order (English alphabet that is).
Another problem with the cards is that there is often no clue of how the verbs are conjugated, all cards have a phrase on the back using the word but often this doesn't give much away as to how to conjugate the verb. They could quite easily have put this on the back, it would've been far more useful than the sometimes obscure sentences which are currently there.
It's not all doom and gloom, the cards are well made, the print very clear and on the front as well as the main word are 5 associated words.
This may be a useful tool for someone wanting to learn Arabic verbs, but could never be used as the sole means for learning Arabic.
