Although, as I understand it, not all dialects of Arabic are mutually intelligible so, e.g., an Iraqi and a Moroccan might have difficulty understanding each other. The other challenge with Arabic is that the script is considerably more complicated since most letters have distinct initial, medial and final forms whereas Hebrew only has special final forms for three letters. That said, I know almost no Arabic so I can’t speak with much authority on its learnability.
