To the best of my knowledge, you need to learn the language of any country in the western world if you want to work or survive.

Health care workers in Germany are requested to learn German, and French in France...etc

Will you still come here if you are requested to learn Arabic?

I'd tell you that talking Arabic is not seen positive in Middle East. Mostly, you'd be offered less if you talk Arabic.

I learned arabic without going to school or having a tutor,i learned it by listening to them and asking them what it means,which really helped me. I know how to read too so if there are papers written in arabic,It would be aesy for me though the company i'm working in is not requiring us to learn arabic..It really helps..

In the past (15 yrs ago), all foreign workers must sit for Arabic courses at the beginning months of employment in government offices, not sure if there was a test or not.
