The best way to learn Arabic is the easiest way to learn Arabic. Here is a list of the easiest programs to use. If you have a program that you want to suggest then send me a message.

Easiest way to learn Arabic. Youtube channels:
Learn Arabic TV - http://www.youtube.com/LearnArabicTV - MSA - This is my other channel

Easiest way to learn Arabic. iPod apps:
Eurotalk - MSA - Upside: Fun and affordable. Downside: It is a small program. They need to add more categories.

Rapid Arabic - MSA - Upside: New way of teaching and Entertaining. Downside: Small program. Annoying jokes.

Gengo Cards - MSA - Upside: Fun and affordable. Downside: It is a small program. They need to add more categories.

Flashcards for Kids - MSA - Upside: Good vocab builder. Downside: No phrases or interaction, just typical flashcards.

Easiest way to learn Arabic. Websites:
Arabicpod.net - http://www.arabicpod.net/ - MSA - Upside: Great method for memorizing phrases. Free and paid account. Downside: Lessons are random and don't build on each other.

Livemocha - http://www.livemocha.com/ - MSA - Upside: It's like a lower quality version of Rosetta Stone for FREE. Downside: The text is too small, the audio is bad for some tracks.

Easiest way to learn Arabic. Audio CDs:
Pimsleur - http://www.pimsleur.com/ - Egyptian and Eastern dialect. Upside: Great method of teaching. Downside: There is no workbooks so you can't see the words. If you can't see the words then you don't know if you are hearing them right.

Easiest way to learn Arabic. Computer programs:
Rosetta Stone - http://www.rosettastone.com/ - MSA - Upside: Great method of learning. Free online demo. Downside: Confusing at first until you understand the grammar. Very expensive.

They should learn MSA arabic first, if you can learn that then all the other arabics become simple.

@zazu27604

I agree. Unless they have lots of friends that only speak a certain type. MSA is a great foundation

Assalaam alaikom brother, I was struggling with this question for a long time. But now I have guidance. Thank you.

@Imtiaas

Lots of people don't know what to do. Just choose the easiest path. Later on you can decide to change if you want.

MSA is usually the best choice unless you have lots of friends who speak a dialect.

I wouldn't say computer programs are better than tutors, but cheaper and sufficient for starters.
