I assume you meant Basic Arabic. I know of 3 places in Doha and of course you can try learning it through the lessons on the web. I remember someone advertising too on QL. Read on.
1. I'm taking a basic course now at CHN Institute (near Sports R/A). Their website is www.chninstitute.com . Course cost around Qr1400 for 40 hours, 2 days a week for about 2 months. Class is great. Class size is 12. Teacher for earlier lesson taught in London before. His command of English and Arabic is good and he is approachable and committed to teaching us. Current teacher is a Qatari lady. The class schedule on their website is outdated. Better to call them. They also have intermediate arabic course but you would have to take an assessment before they let you register for it.
2. I tried the free 2 times a week class at Fanar (near Corniche - opp Souq Waqif) in January this year. There's a form to fill up which requires a passport size photo. Each class size has about 60-70 students which I thought was too many. They run about 3 big classes each night. Teacher speaks mainly in Arabic so it is hard to follow. Most students know Urdu so class seems to move fairly quickly cos the language is somewhat similar to Arabic. Much time is spent going one by one around the class to pronounce words from the workbook. I gave up on that class. A free workbook is provided to use in the class but you cannot bring it back.
3. I have also tried a class last year with International Academic Society - they operate from a villa near Hilal R/A. Paid Qr350 or Qr700 a month, cannot remember which. They changed our teacher 3 times. Not exactly happy with the learning experience.
4. You can also learn it online. There are many websites that even have audio files to listen to how the alphabets and words are pronouced. Just do a google search for "Learn Arabic Lessons Online". Beware, some of these websites offer some basic lessons and then try to get you to buy their software or the full lessons.
5. Do a search on QL. You should be able to find something under classifieds for services. I remember someone offering one to one or group lesson.
My personal way that worked for me. First learn the alphabets well - both written and pronounced. Then practice with daily commonly used phrases like greetings and phrases used in the market, restaurants, and workplace. Keeps you motivated to learn some more. Tune in to Arabic channels in the car too. Whew.
Have fun learning Arabic ! I'm starting to like it now and the written words don't look so curly wirly any more.
Some time QCPI giving add in newspapers Arabic language course. its better u may contact QCPI and the Language Institution is giving course the registration being closed. If r ready to learn online just browse www.madeenaharabic.com
I witnessed lot of people having tendency writing few Arabic words on paper with translating in to their own language,and later they will not bothered to by hard
so what is the use of this proceedure ?
My personal experience just concentrate while these Arab people get in talking each other mostly they have facial and body language more than we do our home country which helps you to improve their accent and language.
Its Depends in which profession you are?

Try Arabic Cultural Center in the Old Airport Road (Mattar Kadeem).
Its was Qar.750/- for 3 month course. I did it for around 40 days and then could'nt continue owing to time constraints.
All the best to you....
