I speak arabic fluently! Happens to be my second language. I also took arabic classes in college which was very helpful! I think youll like the language overall!

Arabic is well facinating... I know lots of people that speak it. I work with tons that do but never had a real desire to learn it.

jeremy0203 · 02-07-2008, 10:41 PM

CivicCoupe06 · 02-07-2008, 10:43 PM

si_dick · 02-08-2008, 02:05 PM

Perhaps starting with English would be a first choice :) The only arabic I can say is "How about a beer and A BBQ Pork Sandwich Friend" (Done in the Bobby Bouchet Style).
