I have a girlfriend who can speak Arabic. I am not sure if she can read and write, but she can listen and understand. She got into an Army language immersion classout in California (this was way before 9/11) and I'm not too sure why she did it. She's a professor of tax law and had done some work in Africa....is Arabic spoken in parts of Africa?
Yes, I do believe it is.
I wonder if she's managed to keep her skills up...was enormously hard for her to learn. She had eight weeks of never hearing English except for like an hour when they were allowed to call friends and family every week. Very strange way to study...I'd certainly never do it.
