You read/speak Arabic?

Getting there. I just started learning last fall. I have taken 2 semesters and I just completed an intensive session in may (equivalent to another semester). We have an excellent teacher from Lebanon, I am really surprised how much I have learned in such a short period of time.

I still have a fair amount of trouble because I only know about 1,500 words by heart. I am pretty far into the grammar so If I have a dictionary (just got a good one) I can plod along... Hopefully I will be better able to serve in a few months.

Got another year of Arabic at my current school, then I am planning on taking a 9 week immersion program in Vermont. I should be set by this time next year. ;-)
