<p>well for those of you that say that Arabic will be difficult, does the fact that I know a good amount of Hindi perhaps mean that Arabic will be a bit easier to pick up? I know that they aren’t completely related and have quite a few differences, but don’t they have a similar base?</p>
<p>Also, how is Russian useful (sorry, I keep asking about different countries)? I really should educate myself more about some of these developing nations’ economies. Is there also any place I can read more about Brazil/Russia and why they will be economic “powers” in addition to a cliffnotes summary of why they are good to know?</p>
