I moving to Dubaï in december and I want to learn arabic.

Very easy to find a place that teaches the language. Please note that Arabic is one of the most complex languages that exist. To speak fluently will take a little time... Depends on the person.... Reading and writing and fully mastering arab grammer can take a lifetime... I kid you not.... Arabic grammar is insane...

Rather than going to Berlitz or another expensive language centre, I'll give you the contact details for an excellent tutor.

I suggest www.rosettastone.com they provide online course, it is very easy to learn you can download to trial leasson (free). This is a very good program for beginner. They have many languages, and very reasonable price as well.
