    I think it is a wonderful idea!!
    Although I doubt if I could learn how to speak Arab(or Dutch or Swedish etc) but it would mean a lot if I could learn how to read and write in it! (using Google translator turns simple sentence into Tarzan like sentence a la "Me good, you bad!")
    So, I support this idea!!!!

    Ibrahim is Arabic for Abraham. Its not a very common name, as most Arabs prefer to call children Ahmad or Muhammad. actually, it was never a common name in the Arab world. As to why it sounds jewish: well, the name is loaned from Hebrew (in fact, when I get to it, it has an odd declension, because of being foreign). it also helps that Arabic is related to Hebrew.

    And I was actually named for Abraham Lincoln though, not the prophet. mom picked it.

    lastly, I have finally written up and submitte the paper for college, so now I can focus on this. expect to have some more news in a week.


    @Caius: If you want to teach spanish, I suggest you get the material ready for when I set up the group. the job is yours.

    you have to organize it. start with simple phrases, then work your way up.

    Would be a lot easier for me to learn Russian, Arabic, Japanese and Greek together than teach Spanish, so kudos for the initiative Caius. Still if I can contribute in any form in this project I will.
