I will show you something interesting about Arabic. Out of 1 verb, one can make lots of words in Arabic.
1. Malaka (ملك) = to own. 2. Maalik (مالك) = owner. 3. Maalik (مالك) = one who doesn't own anything. It's the contronym of "owner." 4. Malik (ملك) = king. 5. Mulk (ملك) = reign. 6. Milk (ملك) = property. 7. Malakoet (ملكوت) = kingdom. 8. Mallaka (ملَّك) = to make the owner of.
There's more, but I think I made it clear enough.

I will show you that new words can be made from a new arabized word too.
1. Al-Isfiraazah (الإسفرازة) = the espresso. 2. Safraza (سفرز) = to make an espresso. 3. Tasafraza (تسفرز) = to drink an espresso. 4. As-Safaroez (السفروز) = a double espresso. 5. As-Safaroez (السفروز) = someone who drinks a lot of espresso. 6. As-Sifraazah (السفرازة) = an espresso machine. 7. Al-Isfiraaziyyah (الإسفرازية) = the psychology of what happens when someone drinks an espresso.

English and Spanish are much more useful than Arabic

That's not true at all. Arabic without dots and diacritics makes one dig, and this digging is good for creativity, fluency and contextual comprehension. Check the Arabic alphabet on Google, then imagine it without dots. Lots of letters will resemble each other without dots in Arabic. The Arabs in the past used Arabic without dots and diacritics.

The Arabs speak different dialects, but they also understand classical Arabic. When I spoke about Arabic, I didn't mean a dialect.

Here is another interesting word regarding "espresso."
As-Safrazaan (السفرزان): The death or a malady due to drinking an espresso.

The anglicized word for "safrazaan" is "sepherson." To change a foreign word into the taste of the targeted language is ludeqry.

To say "squiggles" to an Arabic speaker due to him understanding Arabic is proof that the one who said it is non-fluent. Arabic is not a language that should be looked down upon. Arabic is above such a person, and that person can't reach the fluency. That's it. It's a bad sign if someone is sensitive to cursive writing.

Aren't all letters just squiggles that someone made up at some point?
Language is really interesting in general.
Is Arabic a difficult language for someone who speaks English to pick up?
