I think you have part of the answer here in italki.com there are hundreds of people from English speaking countries that are willing to help you. If you have foreign friends, practice with them. Read English on the internet and listen to videos on youtube and other video websites. Watch English language DVDs and films and listen to English language music and get a copy of the lyrics from the internet so you can understand the songs. Ask lots of questions. If you have any questions you can ask me and all your friends here on italki. Now, for my question. How can I speak Arabic, not fluently, but just enough to get around in an Arabic speaking country.

Hi,I would be greatful if I could help u.The answer is very simple:Speak.as much as u speak.you will be better at it.Just remember about your childhood!
