Is Arabic difficult?
Is English difficult to the British-born? Is it to a chinese kid?
Depends a lot on your mother tongue, the environment (are you exposed to it?), your level of motivation, and your age too.
Spoken vs. Written
Which one should you study, spoken Arabic or written Arabic (also called Modern Standard Arabic, or MSA)? While MSA is what you will read/hear in the Arabic newspapers and other media, spoken (derivatives of) Arabic is what you will hear when you are on tour in an Arab country; you will hardly ever have to read it. It has a number of varying versions, each region having its own. For example, the Iraqi spoken Arabic widely differs from the Moroccan one.
