Insha Allah means God willing. When we say something about future, we say God willing. This is an expression of humility in front of God. We won't say, "tomorrow I will do this" but "God willing tomorrow I will do this"
SWT, is short of Subhanahu ta'ala. This is in Arabic, which I do not think I can do a good translation. It is an expression of God's perfection and Greatness.

You can take Arabic language courses at the American university in Cairo ( AUC) . It's located in "Tahrir" but you have to go the library's building where you'll find the how much does it cost and the course hours and it's days. But you'll need an ID or something similar to leave for the security at first time you go and ask.
I'll send you by e-mail their phone numbers if you needed to ask about anything before you go.

To learn Arabic:

I know two great websites:
The first one includes audio files to help you with pronunciation:
http://touregypt.net/translat.htm

This is the other one:
http://www.egyptianarabic.com

http://www.google.com.eg/language_tools?hl=en
this is the best site for translations of Arabic to English and u can also translate english to Arabic

Well first of all, keep in mind that when arabic is taught, that it is usually classical arabic that you will be learning, which, though a good foundation, isn't the most practical thing to be speaking in the streets, as it is very formal and used for speeches/ books etc. Almost every country where arabic is spoken, they have their own "version" In Morocco, Alegeria and Tunisia they speak differently than in Egypt and the Gulf etc. The good thing about Egyptian is that many arabs understand it, since many Egyptian movies and songs are popular all over the Arab world. and once you get past the alphabet bit, it should be smoother sailing! Best of luck!!

Well, where are you living now? If you are in Egypt let me know so I could suggest some places.
For now here's a very useful site ,hope you will like it :
http://lexicorient.com/babel/arabic/inde...
If you want to learn the Egyptian dialect then I suggest a book titelled "Kullu tamaam" you can ask for it at any big book store, it's wonderful book.
Hope it helps.
if you have any other questions don't hesitate to contact me. Emmy emmyeg_us@hotmail.com

"for pronunciation"
http://mec.sas.upenn.edu/marhaba/lesson_...
http://i-cias.com/babel/arabic/index.htm... (this one with audio option)
"for writing"

But the most important thing is to practice it with anyone at home, make your slogan "no English at home" loll

Agree with Happily.
Subhanahu wa taala can be translated as "the Exalted and Glorious"
