I'm a non arabic speaking saudi.....HELP

Wow, are you kidding?  You're a Saudi DREAM if you know English well due to 'Saudizing'!

Apply at any hospital!  A Saudi with excellent English is in high demand.

yeah i agree with mr.alliecat
this is great for you
and don't worry about your Arabic it just a matter of time,you need to hangout with Arabic speaker and like this
you will find your self speaking Arabic.
If you need any help just ask

errrmmm...

Mr. alliecat?

lol

Mr. sounds just find

hahahaha .. ehm, sorry

Ziad, cloud and Allie have a point. you need not worry too much about the arabic par, just hang around your cousins and youll be fluent in no time. just dont get effected with the "typical saudi teenage syndrom"

ofcourse I can help you learn arabic, but being tought by a Pakistani as a saudi sounds ironic. but don't worry about the accent, I'm native fluent


Salman

im 25 years old....so worried people will think im too old to "start" learning the language lol.....

Allicat thanks for the tip about hospitals never thought about that area.....will look into the websites of some of the ones i know here in riyadh....

Right now im more worried about finding a job that will accept a non arabic speaking saudi lol.....

Salman and Cloud thanks for the tips....will definately keep you two in mind when i start learning the language

Zaid believe me,if u dun know Arabic,you r not losing much.especially when u r Saudi......you already da most essential thing and tht your Nationality:P

Best way to learn a language...

make friendship with a girl ...

and talk to her in arabic....

talking talking talking

But one of my college spent 2 years in CHINA...

and he learned quite much of Chinese using this technique.

as per his theory

to Learn a language this is one of the recommended way

As Girls are found of talking a lot... so it might help

^ It's the way I learned Brasilian Portuguese.  I moved to Brasil, got a gorgeous girlfriend who didn't speak a word of English.

I'm fluent today...not always accurate but fluent.

Brazilians are lovely people lol....

Ziad !!

you are complaining about Arabic language learning here......

and learning Portuguese ur self !!!!!

why don't u try learning Arabic the same way

if some people didnt figure it out yet, having a gf here is a taboo.. though that wont eliminate the fact that these relationships actually exist.

hehehehe you got da point boy

i cant learn arabic the same way because i already have a gf....

Not going to get a new arab gf just to learn the language....doesnt work that way for me lol....

Look, there's plenty of Saudi's who want to be around me in order to practice their English.

It should be the same for you. Maybe you could work out a 'language exchange' with one of them, preferably while you're doing something else (playing basketball?). I say this because if it's not fun, you won't stick to it (I think this is what is behind all the GF suggestions--ie. it has to be more interesting than an English class to really learn).
