Arabic Words -

Basic Arabic Words UAE is an Arabic country. However, it is very sad to notice that most of the majority of expatriates living here do not know how to converse in basic Arabic. In one way it can be viewed as a tolerance of the UAE and its rulers to allow foreign language to be dominant and on the other hand it can be viewed as lack of interest from expatriates. English and Hindi are widely spoken and English is used in all the official documentation or press releases. In any case, we lose a golden opportunity to learn a new language! I remember when I went to Madras(now Chennai), India in late 1990's for higher studies and I had to learn Tamil because people seldom talk any other language but Tamil. It made me ponder....why not I learn at least basic Arabic words. I started my lessons and I am proud today that I have learnt at least 15 new words in the last 1 month and use it wherever I get an opportunity to talk to an Arabic speaking person in basic Arabic words.
