Why should you learn Arabic?
Arabic is the language of a large part of our planet. Whether you are interested in learning Arabic for educational or cultural reasons or simply because you want to impress a friend or have a tattoo of your name in Arabic, it is easier than you may think.
It is the official language in 22 countries, spoken by more than 300 million people. It is one of the permanent languages in the United Nations.
Another reason is that Arabic is one of the oldest living languages in the world, and it is the origin of many languages. It has heavily influenced languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, Persian, Hindustani, Turkish, Malay, Urdu, Indonesian, Kurdish, Pashto, Swahili, Berber, Bengali and many others.
Arguably it is said that Arabic is one key origin of modern day languages. An indication of this is the fact that most Arabic native speakers are easily able to pronounce almost any sound in any language in the world.
On the other hand many non-Arabic natives have a hard time pronouncing some Arabic letters and sounds which are not available in their native languages (for example the letter Dhad in Arabic is not used in any other language in the world, and the Arabic language is sometimes called the language of the Dhad).
For thousands of years minor changes were made to the Arabic language and it was appropriate for every era throughout the countless civilizations that used it as their native language. In fact, Arabic has a great influence in most of the languages in our present times.
Maybe, the most obvious contribution of Arabic is developing and passing on the "Arabic numerals" (0,1,2,3..) to humanity, not to mention the numerous words with Arabic origins which are used today in most languages - Algorithm, Algebra, alcohol, coffee, zero, sugar and the list goes on.
Arabic was the international language of science, mathematics, culture, and philosophy during the middle Ages. Its contribution to the Western civilization as an infrastructure for development of science and medicine is enormous.

I found Ayad on craigslist when I was looking for a private tutor to help me learn Arabic. I work at a translation and localization firm, so the more languages you know (or at least have a basic understanding for) the better!
Ayad is very patient, helpful and professional. He was able to help me define what it was that I am looking to accomplish with Arabic and to develop an appropriate learning plan accordingly. We now meet once a week and go over the weekly lessons. My pronunciation needs a lot of work, but he is patient and flexible.
My schedule is often another challenge. I'm pretty busy most days of the week, but Ayad is very flexible and able to meet in different places on different days depending on what I can manage each week (a huge help to me!!)
I know he also is a translator and interpreter and based on his mastery of the Arabic language and his proficiency in English, I don't doubt that he is excellent at translation and interpretation as well!– Tamaray
