friends here in Qatar are Qatari, and so is my boyfriend.... but for me, the arabic is definatley a problem, in the sense of, I don't speak it very well.... however, the three of them are TRYING... with great patience, to rectify the situation...
my other problem is that I lack the confidence to speak arabic to anyone except them... so I don't get much practice....
I think that communication causes big rifts between the communities, as you wouldn't want to inadvertantly say something that might offend... thats how I see it.....
