well Odove I'm sure that given that ur a friendly person, u wont have to pay for lessons.

first off, im sure SaharEl will be able to enlighten u on the wonders of Arabic Language courses at the Aware Center (here is their website) but i believe that the best things in life are free, and we can teach u a few choice arabic phrases to get u started (online, thru group meetings, coffee etc), and then u can build on that urself.

OR! if ur feeling lucky, head on over to teh family bookshop, tell Mr. J. Sanhi that the man who purchased the "Learn Russian" books from you sent you, and ask if they have any Arabic teaching material. They are having a clearance sale, so u can also pick up a good bundle of reading material for a rip off price.

all in all, given that u are in kuwait, learning arabic will not be a problem. theres a sort of pidgin arabic used colloquially here, and that is fairly easy to pick up.

if u need any other info, do let us know :)
Welcome, I speak Arabic and Farsi and English, maybe if you want to learn the accent, accompanied by a friend that I can help you
Welcome on board and in Kuwait.

Check al-waseet paper on Friday morning. There are some females who put ads for Arabic lessons. You can find the paper in any Big super market in your area.

Also you can ask American teachers who work in the private schools, some of them take Arabic lessons.
also if you so much want to learn Arabic and speak in Kuwaiti dialect then there is this book called speak
