Arabic is really hard for foreign people, especially pronouncing the words, one of the reasons is that some of our alphabets are not there in English.

You're right, Arabic is hard to pronounce for many foreigners, but its the same with all foreign languages... I think the most difficult thing for foreigners with arabic is the reading and writing... Even me, after not practicing or using the language for a long time, I sometimes have to stop for a second or two and think about what I'm reading...
