Surely language is essential for a peaceful easy life.
My Arabic is like an elastic band... I stretch it to go a long way...

The problem with Arabic is that the learning materials available are rubbish.
sorry I have yet to see one excellent book for learning Arabic.
The thing with English - French - Spanish etc you can get some great learning materials....

Now doesn't some wealthy Arab foundation/uni - sponsor the development of dynamic course materials... the format can be modelled on other course books.

In fact someone call me to start a project!
