Learning Arabic

timm Hi, I plan to seek work in Dubai in the secont half of next year once I have completed some project managment and database management courses. In the meantime I have decided to learn Arabic to the best of my ability and was wondering if there was a particular local dialect peculiar to Dubai or would I be best learning Modern Standard Arabic? I have seen Eastern Arabic advertised as part of the Pimsleur programme and would like to know if this is the same as Modern Standard Arabic ? Many thanks in Advance Tim kurdish1987 eastern arabic? i know arabic and iv never heard of that lol just stick to the standard arabic. standard arabic is whats spoken in dubai timm hello kurdish,
I saw this advertised on Amazon

I shall follow your advise and stick with standard Arabic. Maybe after a few months I will be able to speak to my Morrocan barber here in the UK and ask him how I want my hair cutting! :D mahmoodb I strongly recommend you below Arabic learing materials. You will enjoy them:

[color=green]Hey Timm,
Uhhmm Moroccan Barber is not arabic, it's Barber :? maybe your friend understands arabic too :?: [/color] timm Sorry,
A barber is a man who cuts hair and the man who cuts my hair is Morrocan. I wasn't refering to the Barbar people who live in Morroco.

apologies for the confusion. Raya Sorry about misunderstanding timm ... lol
