Bullshit.
Tell that to the huge number of illiterate population of Arabic-speaking countries, to see what they say (and aver if you can understand with some Romance language without saying "nice, cheap" or "two pounds, beautiful girl").
But that's not why I pointed out to me in Arabic Language School (which henceforth will call EOI for short). Today the teacher told us one by one preugntaba why we wanted to learn Arabic, and I did not mean "For most want to be an archaeologist and travel around the world, so in eight years will need to know Arabic to work in the northern countries Africa and Middle East, Saudi Arabia, etc. "(which is true). I opted for a more simple but no less true: I am very interested that culture and to understand any culture, it is best to learn the language.

Some said "it out of curiosity", "to try something new." What candid pedantic learners creatures.
According to my teacher, Arabic is the second language most devilish of the world after Turkey. Others said, with more sanity, which because of their work they had a lot of immigrants, mostly Arabs, and could not help because they do not understand the French. A man says:
"When I hear them talk to each other, I get the feeling they think we're all racist, or saying something about me ... I can
-Os ensure that when two Arabs talking to each other, are talking about money - he says Lourdes (the profane).
general Carcajada thirtysomething students crammed into the Classroom 5. I am the youngest, I think. There are a couple of kids who have more or less my age, but have not yet spoken with them, so I do not know exactly if I'm the youngest. Beside me sat a fifties yesterday Paleozoic makeup pink and white hair has not appeared today.
There is a very strange guy (ie, which I love) very handsome and very quiet, Moroccan, who said he wanted to learn Arabic because it is in Spain since he can remember and now is interested in their roots. To see if I can talk to him one of these days, because today, he finished the class, has evaporated.
As I arrived late (of course), I have had a desk in the last row to the left side of Mr. Morse (the truth is that it is much thicker and has more than any walrus mustache, and I will not insult the walrus so this name is tentative), I do not know her name, but goes Sabiondo. I do not know how the teacher will hold their endorsements.
Then I talked to a very nice boy but talked weird. He told me that has gotten into Arabic because it is in third in history and was tired of not understanding medieval texts in Arabic. Le Lenguadetrapo call. Lenguadetrapo will ask you to help me talk to the Moroccan mysterious cutie and which Pokemon Abra teleports.
Returning to the language ...
Lesson: prohibited from using western letters. So I forget the chop sign up how to pronounce this or that word.
Second lesson: nothing to say "classical Arabic" because that's like saying that Arabic is a dead language like Latin. For the concept of classical Arabic will use the term "literary Arabic, which is what I am going to study.
(Digression: if the Arabs communicate with the Arabic language, each city (every country, every city) has its dialects and accents and native words, so it is almost impossible to understand you. But studying literary Arabic to read newspapers, listen to radio and watch Al Jaazera (this channel I have it in the ONO, but not hired). The literature is also used by diplomats, ministers, ambassadors, etc., and also help us to attend a meeting of educated people.)
Third lesson: not all Arabs are Muslims and all Muslims are Arabs. Muslims are those who practice Islam and Arabs are people with a culture common to communicate in Arabic. For
go. And this was my first day and we have not even started with the alphabet.
Where have I been? O_o
