Hi Doha Tiger and all others who condemn the non arabic speakers that htey should learn Arabic. Here is a truth right infront of your eyes... analyze this. I made recruitment films for Rasgas, QP and now for Qatar Academy, All these companies want to hire people to come and work in Qatar. I always am asked to paint an extremely beautiful picture of the country and one of the main things that is common in all the films is that they say, "English is widely spoken and understood in Qatar"
Look at the facts now:
1 U have an accident call 999 and speak english, they'll hang up.
2 Need an Ambulance call 999, they say arabi arabi and hang up.
3 Go to Hamad Hospital, Doctors fron Egypt, Palestine, Jordan, and Sudan dont speak or understand much English either.
4 Go to the police station, Immigration deptt and my list is un ending.
The worst part is that if the officer doesnt speak english he gets rude at times and simply tells u to go away.
Now for your info, if u go to India, U will not be asked to speak Hindi or one of the 29 official languages spoken in the country. U will survive with English. U will get an Ambulance, a Police officer, Health services and all other services. If you dont even speak english they'll try and understand your problem rather than disrespecting you.
