I'd say Arabic can be pretty vivid and even spicy! Oh, and: Yes, I mean the language, my dear!
The only difficult things about it are the way of writing (right to left) and the fact that at some point you have to learn how to read without the small helping signs indicating whether there is a short "a", "i" or "u".
Otherwise it's quite learnable - alphabet with 28 letters, 3 of which are the long vocals "a", "i" (pron. "ee") and "u" (pron. "oo"), and a pretty simple grammar. I only wish I had the time to continue learning Arabic - I've almost forgotten even the basics already... :-| |
