somehow u r right Arien...but do you realise also how much effort some qataris do make to try to speak english..not only qataris but some other arabs as well.

even some indians here don't speak english, mainly the car mechanics...

but language is not necessarily the issue. it's ones personal inability to get on well with others...or shyness to kickstart a conversation like Amnesia said.

I thank you all for your comment.
