    old markets-Damascus- Syria I live in Damascus ,the capital of Syria, In a room down the old city, which still save in the middle of the war, and also it's full of life, people r working very hard trying to make a living in these hard circumstances. on my daily road to work i get through the old markets where u can smell a mixture from all kinds of spices, and u can see all the colors u can imagine in the kinds of sweets which are gathered perfectly in the boxes and up the shelves in the little stores. women should hear compliments in the markets, and invites to taste a kind of nuts, or sweets, and it's normal that a worker standing in the middle of the road, stops u and ask: "miss do u need a pajamas?.. come with me". u can see also many little boys pulls small waggons, working in the markets for 10 hours a day.. these narrow roads in the old city of Damascus, r full of movement, beauty, funny experiences, but also cheating, hard work and pain. in Damscus the oldest capital in the world, the old markets are full of history and life.

    i think to learn arabic u have to identify ur aim. why u are learning, if u are intrested in religion and history u have to start with the classical. and then u will have the main grammers wich can help u in starting to learn the others.. but the vocubulary are very different from the spoken one.

     

    if u want to communicate,talk and read in arabic then u should learn the modern standard, and you will be able to talk in all the arabian countries. also there's alot of vocubularies wich are in common between the kinds of the  spoken arabic and the modern standards.

    but u won't be able to understand an egyptian movie for example...

    on my opinion there's no way or hope to learn how to talk and understand the spoken arabic (egyptian, middel east etc...) unless u live with people for about two years or more  :)

    so my advice that one should start with the modern standard.

    i think i'll choose U.S.A to practice my english, because the accent is so familiar, but that doesn't mean that i prefer the u.s country. but for visiting i will choose skotland.
