Vsem privet. Ni hao! ~ Hello! Did you know that Arabic and Spanish have a number of things in common? The Spanish ojalá ~ hopefully, is directly related to insha Allah. Words like zapato, pantalon, camisa all have their Arabic equivalents so studying those 2 could be an interesting entry into both worlds. You already speak English so you'd have a large part of the world covered.

Saludos ~ Greetings!
