For learning Hebrew, there are a number of online courses that persons can take (free of charge, you just have to buy the book). Usually they're done through things like Yahoo! groups. Do y'all know of any similar groups for learning Arabic?
hmm dunno..there probably are but i dont check
but i know of a site that is downloaded from arabic books..
so basically free
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
Arabic comes from a whole different family of languages to English, while English is Indo-European Arabic is semitic, it's a whole different language system, it would take at least 7-12 months for oral fluency and up to 2 years for fluency in writing etc.
Yosh if you know hebrew it won't be too steep a learning curve as both are semitic.
I was planning on finishing learning Hebrew (I know enough to read, but I couldn't really hold a conversation), then learning Arabic, then Judeo-Arabic, and then a few others (unrelated).
I do hope my knowledge of Hebrew ill help. IIRC, Arabic is the 2nd closest language to Hebrew around anymore (2nd only to Aramaic)
