I want to learn Arabic, where should I start?

[Upgrade123]

Hello all, I've become interested in learning to read, speak, and write Arabic. Does anybody have any recommendations/tips? Thaaanks.

Why? Is this just out of nowhere, wanting to learn Arabic? In that case you're probably not going to get far.

You should get someone who teaches you, like a course (not an online course).

If you have the money I've heard Rosetta Stone is pretty good, I think they have arabic.

It's not a spur-of-the-moment thing, I've been getting more and more interested in Middle Eastern cultures over the past couple of months.

if you want to learn to speak it then go to iraq wearing an american pride shirt whilst playing Born In The USA on a boombox
