	Thanks for all your guesses! None of them were right. I took Arabic, because it was the only language course I could take with such a busy timetable. I actually wanted to learn Arabic one day too, but not as early as "now". The choices were: Russian advanced, Swedish A2, Chinese beginner, Arabic beginner or Romanian beginner (which was not offered this term). The material requested is "Salam! Arabisch für Anfänger A1 - A2. Lehrbuch + CD". I'd love to learn all languages you mentioned, but unfortunately there are no courses available at my university - in this case for Japanese, Danish, Norwegian, Polish and Icelandic. With Swedish I am able to understand a little bis of Danish and Norwegian. My goal is the B2 Swedex Certificate (there is no C1 by now).

	Sounds good! Arabic is not on my immediate hitlist, but it will be good fun! Any dialect you want to focus on? 1 person has voted this message useful

	The next level This week I bought my Arabic book, and also "Tala Svenska A2+" to continue learning Swedish by myself. Two days ago I got a message from my former Swedish teacher, to go on with lessons via Skype. I'm excited about bringing forward my Swedish knowledge to A2+! 1 person has voted this message useful

	Arabic I started learning Arabic from scratch two weeks ago. Currently I have no time to continue learning Swedish aside, so I'll just let it be, and enroll for the next Swedish course next term. Learning Arabic has been fun and I'm amazed about the language's richness. I don't know all the letters yet, but at least we learned to introduce ourselves ;-) 1 person has voted this message useful

	Slow progress, no progress Have I told you already that I love learning Arabic? I haven't lost my motivation (yet), but I've noticed that I start to feel frustrated with the situation. Our teacher is veeery patient with everyone in this course, and we're just doing very little progress. What we've done so far: basic expressions ("Hello, I'm Blaaah", "Goodbye", "Bless you!"), a (very!) little bit of vocabulary, almost no grammar (personal pronouns for I, you [male + female], he and she), and the numbers from 0 to 10. We've been having lessons for about a month already, but we still didn't learn all letters!!! (12 letters + basic use of short vowel marks) Isn't that frustrating??? :-((( 1 person has voted this message useful

	Stopped I decided to quit going to my language course. Hopefully I'll soon find a better possibility to learn more Arabic. In the next few weeks I'd like to focus again on Dutch and Swedish... 1 person has voted this message useful
