I want to learn Spanish. Iam lucky that I speak Arabic, I think Arabic is very beautiful language and I use to teach Arabic for free because I adore it, but I do not have time anymore.

its very very very easy. i was able to carry on a conversation without troubles in about 2 months. i figured it was since i knew arabic, since there are many words that very similar. you shouldnt have a problem with it. its much simpler than french.

hindi, bengali, sindhi and urdu <---- are these Dialetes or Languages? To me Mandarin and Cantonese are different dialets not different languages.

tamil aint the hardest...but it aint the easiest....i think for me the hardest was sanskrit...which is the purest of language...imagine the grammer of the french language combined with the subtle poetry of urdu...with the precision of mathematics...no wonder i scored 18/100 in sanskrit...haha

Its considered as the meta language..

I know:
Danish(off course)
English
German
Swedish
And i can curse pretty good in Albanien

I find it hard to keep upon them when they are not used regularly, but as it seems like im going to work in the Middle East things would probably be easier for me if i learned Arabic, but the next on the wish list was Spanish. With German English and Spanish, you'll be covered in most countries in the world.
