the biggest tip i would say is to spend some time in an arabic speaking country. this is the best way to put your knowledge into practical use. if you dont use it you will loose it. that said, the best self teaching course in my opinion is the rosetta stone language teaching CDs. they are convenient...

DubaiInformationSite

i cannot post a link per se as i am a new member. however, if you are a better learner on your own at a time convenient for you then consider then rosetta stone teach yourself CDs. i have seen these at every airport since i travel so frequently. many business travellers are using this to learn anoth...

why dont you ask a local university. try a search on google for dubai city information. look for links that end in .ae. these are government run most likely and can guide you in the right direction...

DubaiInformationSite

next time you run into this go to google and search for arabic + script + dictionary. a listing should pop up that you can use to convert english words into arabic. good luck

DubaiInformationSite

i am not sure how others compare since i have not tried them but rosetta is very good. i have used it to learn hindi, tagalog etc. very effective. but you must spend time in those countries practicing the language.

DubaiInformationSite

contact your local university or the government. they must have some recommended (tried and tested ) resources. when it comes to this, do not just rely on your gut.

DubaiInformationSite

yes - but spending time in the country that speaks arabic is a must if you really want to learn and retain

with the passage of time the mindset is changing. however in older times, aside from many other reasons the left hand was used to wash the behind. so imagine eating with that hand?

DubaiInformationSite

anyone else up for this? i am a fluent speaker of english and some other languages but need practice in arabic. i am 28 yrs old, male

DubaiInformationSite

have you posted on some credible dubai classified sites? why not give that a shot. also, craigslist has expanded into dubai!!! use them!

DubaiInformationSite

hi there, will you consider tutoring someone over VOIP, web / email and chat? what if someone lives outside of Dubai? please advise

DubaiInformationSite

likewise, why dont we form a group on msn for us who need practice in arabic? what say you all?

DubaiInformationSite

sites are good, but practical first hand experience is a MUST. i recommend CD programs where you can interact with a voice recorded person

pay attention to the calendar and the skies and guestimate yourself. your guess is as good as anyone else's...

contact the american university in dubai. my fiance's sister learned spanish in school and that is where she went i believe. i am sure they will at least be able to recommend where to go...

hilarious cartoon. be careful though, we dont want to get this forum banned in dubai do we?

DubaiInformationSite

yes, please do refrain from numbers as we "newbies" or novice learners can struggle with understanding it

lol give me your address i'll be over tonight to rob. in all honesty though this is becoming a joke. people are demoralized because of the current events and humor is the best way for them to escape it. not sure the motivation behind such news stories. is it mainly to distract attention from the pro...

yup, both emaar and nakheel have halted most, if not all projects. i am surprised the atlantis slipped through the cracks somehow. they barely made it. the issue is that all this is just the start. the UAE has lagged the USA a good 8-12 months - so the worst is yet to come. it will be interesting to...

unfortunately all efforts to date have failed, including the massive cash influx into the economy. if you see economies like UK and USA who do the same kind of thing, it rarely works. the core issues of the economy need be fixed and only then will cash thrown into the system make its way through han...

acutally this trend is going to continue through 2010 before turning back around. real estate fundamentals do not support even today's valuations despite the 40%+ correction. read the morgan stanley report on dubai real estate, it is quite alarming to read. frankly dubai is still way overvalued. jus...

quatroporte that was an awesome picture! lol. what a game it was last night, oh my! probably the second best, if not the best, superbowl i have personally witnessed. who would have thought that a 9-7 team led by an expired QB can reach the heights and almost win!!!

DubaiInformationSite

can someone please describe the type of scams, what schemes are being perpetrated? the reason i ask is because ihave had many friends go to dubai for employment and so far so good with each and all. my personal rule is that never pay for this kind of service. a legitimate placing agency/recruiter wi...

DubaiInformationSite

very interesting and very true discussion. dubai is not a democracy nor a free speech enviornment despite what the government tries to convey. at the end of the day all statistics and figures are rigged! manipulated to favor the locals. in all honesty the locals are the worse drivers. just go on you...

a long standing debate or discussion i should say between my father in law and i. he keeps insisting dubai has a military...well it is really a shared force with all of UAE. this force is nothing short of a peace keeping force. never seen them in action....dubai's military might is the white house a...

a bunch of conspiracy theories. let's strive to make this place factual (lol). lots of similar news will come out between now and god knows when the economy recovers. it is just human nature to deter away from the true painful realities and resort to dirty humor and bs theories The Dubai Information...

the dollar will continue to decline (it already has) in 2009 but so will the pound and the euro. one thing we all have to remember that foreign currency flux is all relative to the strength of one against the other. in today's global recession we are all going down together, however countries with c...

lol what a joke...i just saw cows flying last night. 10 yrs from now dubai's demographic will be the same it is today. why would a chinese move to dubai anyway? anyone who understands china and its culture knows that this wont happen.

fantastic way to raise cash in tough times. i mean why not? just lay people off and cancel their visas. they run to the airport, so they dont get deported and leave their cars. government sells them and collects cash. but who would they sell them to is the main question?

DubaiInformationSite

it's called raising revenues in tough times. it is no secret that dubai is facing some serious issues. so since it cant just print the dirhams, it has resorted to tapping the pockets of the people it does not tax!!!
