I think it is very important to learn Arabic, for many reasons, the most important reason is that you to benefit from reading the Quran and learning the teaching of it, learning Arabic is crucial, I think when you have issues with the government, or may be you start working, you could function freely, with out having to refer to a traslator

English and Hindi/Urdu will help you a lot every where, and you can start Arabic learning classes here in Qatar

Speaking Arabic is not at all a big deal. If you have interest in speaking you can learn it real quick.

Been here in Qatar for as much time as your husband and though, not working with Qataris or for that matter Arabs but i have friends who are Arabs and i learned the language.

Generally, you dont need to know Arabic but if you do, it is fruitful!

Welcome to Qatar :)

It is not important, but it's a great gesture towards the Qataris. They will honor your efforts.

Since you are coming here soon, it is not possible that you can learn Arabic before coming here.

You don't need it to survive here, but it is a great advantage if you can learn it after you get here.

You can imagine how speaking (or reading) Arabic can generally be an advantage, but you'll survive with a decent command of English, so don't fret. It's pretty much a good mix of languages and nationalities over here, (with what i've seen for myself so far anyway) that English is spoken widely enough.
