Yeah, Arabic would be a bit of a tricky one. I was in India for a month just recently and tried learning Hindi from the locals, sadly I didn't get much past "Hello" and "Goodbye".
With no Latin connections to anything and even a different alphabet it was just so different in every way.

Despite dating a Ukranian girl for a while, just about the only Russian I know is "yeb vas". | |

Spoke English as well (If not better) than me though tbh.

Unfortunately it seems as it's a toughie!
| I tried that. My advice is forget it unless you're amazingly dedicated and have 10 years to spare. Forget learning it from a few CDs for a start.

Really that bad.

Immersion probably the best way for me in absence of being in acountry where the language is spoken. I listen to language tapes, watch TV and read books and papers. Read out aloud when I can.
