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?

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)

Anyone know of any sites at all?
