Need to Learn the Basics Quick - I'm going to Qatar in 2 months, and would like to learn the basics of arabic before then. Any help?

- sure ask away ;)
taozeroThursday 23rd of June 2005 04:39:42 PM
- Ok, :D

What is a good place to start learning basic conversational skills, like 'hello' (marhaba, I know that one ;)), good bye, thank you, your welcome, sorry, etc?

Also, are there any peculiarities as far as Gulf states go? IE particular customs that might apply to Qatar that won't elsewhere?

- i don't know whether you read about the online classes that are going to start on friday which is tomorrow you could join that coz they too are complete beginners and we'll start with marhaba and how to start a conversation in arabic and i also thought of giving a few tips about the arabic culture and too the gulf culture if you want:) the the post ay mosa'ada there are links to mohamed's website and there are lessons for complete beginners too they'll help you alot!! and as you are going to qatar it's our next door neighbour country i could give you some tips about it ;)

- That would be great! How does the online class work? Do you meet in a Classroom, are you given assignments, or what? :D
