Hi there,

I am soon moving to Qatar, and would like to get a head start on learning some Arabic. I am an absolute beginner. Can anyone recommend some good self study books? I have been to the local bookstore, but most of the materials they have do not include any audio materials, so I will have to end up ordering online.

Also, does anyone have recommendations for classes/tutoring once I arrive in Doha?

Thanks a lot.

Try a computer store. They sometimes have language learning packs that include CD-ROMs.
