Well, not alone- I hope someday to start taking formal classes, and I'll be using books and music and whatever I can to help me learn. But for now, does anyone know of any effective methods for learning to speak and understand basic Egyptian Arabic (short of going to Egypt to live there)? I've tried Rosetta Stone (not with Arabic, with German) and the focus seems to be more on developing an understanding of sentence structures and simple grammatical rules instead of conversation. I hear good things about the Pimsleur method, has anyone tried it?
Also, is it feasible to learn three or four languages concurrently? Or should I shelve one or two? Did I mention I'm ambitious?
Lastly, are there any other dancers who want to learn Arabic? Don't be shy.
OK, I'm sorry if this post is too rambling, I'm a bit sleep-deprived. G'nite, everyone.
