Hi Guys, Anyone know of any good Arabic lessons for someone who's native language is English and is flexible enough to coincide with a full time job?

Hi there,

Let me know if you find anywhere, I am in!

Hi all,
A good place would be Polyglot !! not sure about the spelling !! but they have been teaching all languages since the 60s and I remeber that a chinese guy studied arabic so well there that he became able to understand and compose poems in arabic !! I took some english courses there !! they are nice and prices are reasonable !!! also timings are flexiable !! try get their number from 181 and give them a call or a visit, they are located behind Dubai Municipality's building.
Good luck !!

I could teach conversational arabic, no problems

sharmoota, kis imak, kis ikhtak, tilhas teezi and airi feek are enough for a conversation in arabic.

Likewise i'm interested and pretty fleixble on times/days. I want to be able to passively eavesdrop on some of the useless timewasters I have to work with so I can start out-manouvering them on the 1001 ways they seem to come up with to stall/delay project plans

What are the colours in Arabic?

White
Black
Green
Red
Blue
Yellow
Orange
Purple
Silver
Gold

In Urdu/Hindi

White - Gora ( slang word for white ppl)
Black- Kala ( slang word for black ppl

If u ever hear these words " Gora " and "Kala" , it means some indian or Paki is talking about ya .

Once i was sitting wid a friend , who was showing house to a Black girl. My friend was calling to his brother infront of black girl

" Kalai (black girl) is stitting here , and she is interested in this place . There is one kala (black guy) wid her".
