I can't take it anymore - today is the day I start studying Arabic. I'd planned to wait until 6 months in Mexico to get my Spanish to a solid level first but dammit I'm too excited.
My plan is to travel around teaching English spending a year in each country in which time I should be able to pick up the language to a solid B2 level, maybe pushing C1. After almost 5 months in Mexico I'm a solid B1, comfortable in most situations but not yet able to watch a film or stuff like that. I fancy Arabic because there's a strong possibility my next country's native language won't be Indo-European and I think it would be beneficial if I could relate to learning a completely different language from my mother tongue.
Here fucking goes!

Pull your finger out, Martin. Seriously.
@Fred because it seems so bizarrely exotic to me, and I wanted to recreate the idea of having no fucking clue as closely as possible. I used to work in a kitchen where all the chefs were from Algeria and I remember being totally unaware of what they were saying. Also Arabic might come in useful since so many countries use it. I also love learning about the history of the Islamic empire because it wasn't mentioned even once in school. There's obviously a lot of relevance in the news these days in the middle east plus I might be able to watch Juve streams with Arabic commentary and not have to mute it if I know what's going on
Biggest sentence I can manage so far (obviously in the Roman alphabet);
Ena atshon, mumkin maia minfudluk?

The first is subjective. The second cannot theoritically be true. English is a very different language to us, but many of us speak it quite well.
Though one thing a lot of people who don't speak Arabic don't know, is that unlike English, formal arabic which is taught in schools, used in formal communication differs hugely from the Arabic that is used in informal day to day conversations. Obviously you could use formal Arabic and most people will understand you, but they'd think you came from the 14th century

French is fucking great, but at this stage it's all confused with my Spanish so I'm abstaining. The French teach at my school has a heavy accent and when he speaks to me in Spanish my brain gets confused by which language I should respond in.
Shitemare!

As for the second, the sounds in Arabic are so different that after a certain age it becomes difficult to distinguish. As a 28 year old learning Arabic is a monumental task. Possible, but very difficult. French, Italian or German are easier.
