Maybe we could start a daily discussion thread. :)
Seriously, Arabic is easier to learn than English. In less than six months time, I read, wrote, and spoke Arabic, on the level of a four year old child. (It also helped to have tutors who wanted to learn American English colloquial language!) But that was over 11 years ago, proving if you don't use it, you loose it. It seems there must be browser plug-ins to shift between English and Arabic characters.
