I visited all the listed universities in your ad andfound this:1. Umul-Qura U, where I my apt was, had a center for teaching Arabicto foreign students and it was simply LOCKED and looked dusty and unused. 2. I did find some Americans who were so called learning Arabic andall ended up teaching English in Jeddah! 3. Met number of officials in the universities and none had interestin teaching any measure of Arabic literature to the foreigners 4. A friend suggested to go to a local place were they taught Arabicto the foreigners and it was nothing but a shady unprofessional ghettolike place with no clear list of staff and objectives5. I made friends with some of the Americans who were so calledlearning Arabic in Saudi Arabia and all I heard were cheesy businessideas and truly misguided individuals abused by the lack of disciplineand clear direction for the Prophetic Language. 6. Then totally disappointed appealed to some of the high schoolprincipals and they introduced me to some university officials. On thephone they made it clear that they want me to learn their DOGMA orDOCTRINE of how Islam should be implemented, for 4 years and then upontheir approval of my person, I would be allowed to study seriousArabic under their group. 7. I told them that I am a Kafir a disbeliever from America and wouldlike to PAY to learn Arabic and learn Islam through the originalProphetic Language, while I agree to follow all the Islam rules in theuniversity. They denied me any help and cooperations. (obviously theyknew I was not a Kafir but...)8. I flew to Riyadh... same story9. Finally I made friends with some generous students at Ummul-Qura U,we made an exchange I practiced conversational English with them andthey housed me on campus and taught me Arabic that I needed. I returned at the end of 2006, purchased all the grammar booksnecessary for my research and may Allah forgive highly paid universityofficials in Saudi Arabi for neglecting their duties. I must say, the Royal family, may Allah bless them, paid theuniversities in FULL to teach and research not just Arabic but allsciences, but the lazy sluggish and job-protecting universityofficials denied the Royal family to see a return on their investment.
