...how come they still can't get things right around here?

Are you sure I really need to learn Arabic to survive in here? From how I experienced it, the language doesn't really sound 'professional'. How come things can be done better and a bit proper when English language is used by all nationalities in Qatar?

A salesman/contractor mades a deal with the client using verbal Arabic language. When the work order is in progress, the actual conditions do not tally with the deal. Was it me or did we have a wrong interpretation in English from what it was dealt with in Arabic language?
