Okay, how did you learn Arabic?

I started learning at an advanced age, at the age of forty-eight.

For many years I had been wanting to learn Arabic, since I was...

since I was a young boy.

I grew up in Arad near the Bedouin in the Negev, and I always wanted, I mean, to have the opportunity to learn Arabic.

But as you know, days passed, years passed, and I didn't do anything about it.
