I would like to learn arabic, because I think its a beautiful language (lol I love learning all languages though  ) and I have arab songs , I could understand what they are about. To tell the truth, I would like to speak Hebrew, Italian, Dutch, Spanish and some native African languages as well, e.g. swahili but my whole life time wouldnt be enough for me to learn all of them |

I speak some Italian, a bit of French and can understand a little Spanish. I did try german many yrs ago.
Why the languages?
Because I like to travel to Italy, Spain and France and I want to communicate in the country I'm in without sounding like an ignorant Brit and because it's useful and I like learning them!
Should be compulsory from the age of 5! niceone.gif

That is because Swahili is a mixture of several bantu dialects with arabic.
