If your main objective is to learn arabic, you might want to consider going to Tunisa, Morocco or some other country in the MENA region. These countries have much more open societies, so it will be much easier to meet locals and practice and improve your language skills. It's also easier to get a (temp) job in these countries. And last, but not least, they are much cheaper to stay in!
To give you an idea of what you will spend staying here as a tourist... A hotel can easily cost 450 QR per day. Taxis are hard to come by, rentin a car will cost around 100 QR a day. There's few busses, and it's too hot to walk in summer.
Most jobs as waitresses, admins etc. are taken up by relatively cheap labor from Asia, and your standard of living will not be very good if you take up a job like this. Going out is expensive in this country, and other than that there's not much to do.
Not trying to discourage you from coming here, but think about what you are spending your money on and what you will get back in return...
I've been living here in a hotel for a couple of months for work, and I'm surprised how much I end up spending here! It's not a cheap country, it's hard to get to know locals, there's not much to do... Very different from for instance Tunisia and Morocco (where I've also spent quite some time) and it wouldn't be my pick to go to after highschool. But if you're really keen on coming to Qatar, why don't you get a job in Hungary, save up and enroll in an arabic language course here once you can pay for it?
Just my 2-cents worth.
