Has brother Mospike's account been hacked or something?

Anyway to the OP - speaking in Arabic is one of the more difficult aspects as a self learner and if you're not attending classes or in an arab environment then the best method would be as interactive as possible rather than just one book. There are a lot of phrase books out there but you'll be left wondering whether you're pronouncing words correctly etc For example even in spoken fusha it is common to leave out the ending of each word whereas if you just read phrases you may end up pronouncing every single syllable.

Anyway a couple of useful rescources:

1. LQ Toronto - they now have a conversation section. All free.

2. Arabicpod.net - beginner mp3s are free. Although be wary, not all of their podcasts are fusha.

I think you could visit www.kalamullah.com and check out its 'Learning Arabic' section. I would recommend you download the 'Arabic Tutor' volumes.
