Spoken Arabic is easy to pick up but written is a bit more complicated. And the Arabic that locals speak is a tad different from what they teach you in class. And, if you don't converse with someone frequently, it's easy to forget. Still, learning a new language is always good. :grin: <em>CQ's last blog post..</em><a href='http://lbquijano.blogspot.com/2008/04/world-away.html' rel="nofollow">a world away</a> Will you be learning to write it, too?

Sign up for the classes! I know that you'll miss some of your exercise routine, but can't you still go on Thursday and Friday? (or whatever your other week days are!)

The arabic classes finish at 8:30 pm on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday… with Dubai traffic, I will be home by 9:30 pm. or 10. Gym closes at 9 pm.

I can still go to the gym on Saturday, Sunday, Thursday and Friday and most probably watch what I’m eating on the days I don’t go to the gym, hee hee.
