I'm learning Arabic too. It is definitely one of the most difficult for an English speaking native. I've learned other languages and I would say that Arabic has been the most difficult for me.
But, I think if you just focus on the latin alphabet you are missing out because the transliteration schemes vary so much. They don't do a very good job of representing the sounds. I would recommend that you start by spending about a month focusing on the Arabic letters. Just focus on those and you will be blessed later. If you purchase a book such as " Alif Baa with DVDs (Introduction to Arabic letters and Sounds)" you will get a good start. It will give you a good foundation. Then from there you can take on other books or courses.
My 2 cents.

mashallah islam is the best religion and the holy quran is the last word of Allah all mighty
I found arabic not that much difficult what I had heard.May be because I am on Initial stage (basics) and I Know urdu language.Some of the words are common in Urdu and arabic.:sunny:
Of course, when we know arabic language, we will understand the precise meaning of Qu'an.

first meeting on private arabic class in my home
arabic is harder to learn than japanese...
It would be really nice if the muslim ummah spoke in Arabic. actually at least one parent should speak to their children in arabic. too much emphasis is put on english while arabic is neglected. it is sad.
من اليوم سوف اتكلم في اللغة العربية ان شاء الله
بارك الله فيكم
Yes, it's so important to learn Arabic. And to speak it too. I'm giving away a few free copies of Arabic Made Easy e-book. PM me & I'll send details on how to download.
Reminds me of my favorite saying by Hamza Yusuf [Lecture - Al Qur'an: The Living Miracle]
When Allah swt said "Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian" that includes the Arabic language, because it is an essential aspect. The Arabic language has been preserved, it's there for whoever wants it. If you want dunya, then learn English, but if you want akhirah, learn Arabic, because it is the language that literally opens up a whole world of meaning that is inaccessible in the English language.
'Umar sayings:
"Learn Arabic, for it makes a person more logical and wise, and increases his chivalry."
"Learn grammar as you learn the Sunnahs and shares of inheritance."
"Learn I'rab al-Qur'an (syntax) as you learn to memorise it."
"The worst of writing is that which is elongated without being clear, and the worst of reading is to say things unclearly, and the best of writing is that which is clearest."
('Umar Ibn Al-Khattab [Radia-Allahu 'Anhu - "May Allah be pleased with him] His Life & Times vol.1 p.371, 372 Dr. 'Ali M. as-Sallabi)
