There's no need for learning Arabic here, 'cause there aren't many Arabic speaking people here. Neither do we have connections with Middle East or Arabia, so it was kinda out of the question for me.
But I could never understand, how is it possible for them to write with atrament, when they go over the text with their hand (when they are right-handed).

Some of my friends are Arabic though. Funny language.
