A friend of mine, years ago, was attending the defense language school, trying to learn Arabic, I believe. He had to drop Arabic and learn another language because, when speaking the language he couldn't reach a certain high note in his speech. I've always been curious about this. I hope I'm making sense.

am Arabian, i know wut u mean
we have different syllables which r pronounced in other ways
but not all of them, they r just a few
but if u try hard enough u could learn it and master it
i am living in an Arabic country and i can speak English and French and of course Arabic

i dont get the high note part...
yes arabic is actually very hard there are lots of signs you have to add over the letters and some letters you can't connect its all very confusing...but yet again the American language is also hard to them because it has lots of things like verbs, nouns, homophones, conjunctions and lots of words that have "rules"
also imagine if your friend had to learn Japanese they have 2000 and more characters u have to learn for one alphabet and more characters for another type of alphabet they have...so the launguage that you learn and write about is always going to seem strange compared to other languages
OH AND FOR TOM AND BOOT KNOCKA YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE MUSLIM RELIGION AND YOU ARE BEING RACIST A LOOOTTTT!!! ONLY SOME ARAB PEOPLE ARE TERRORISTS NOT EVERYBODY! THANK YOU FOR CALLING ME STRANGE. u are racist HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WERE AN INNOCENT MUSLIM AND YOUR INNOCENT FAMILY WAS BEING BOMBED!!!!! STOP BEING RACIST

It is, really, no "stranger" than any other language, you are just "used to" English. Arabic has the consonant sounds seperated from the "vowel" sounds, but this is true of other languages (Greek vowels & punctuation used to be in the margin).
Arabs might ask you why "rose", "Rose", "roes", "rhos", and "rows" all SOUND exactly the same when spoken, yet all mean different things! How do you tell them apart?

What do you expect? Look at the people who speak arabic. What's stranger and lower than an arab?
