Anybody coming here need to be aware of the need to learn some basic Arabic such as renewal dates for visas ,speed limits etc. There are very serious consequence's for failure to know these things like not having access to your bank account or not been allowed to leave the country because of unpaid speeding fines.

I'd start a thread in the Saudi forum, offering general advice.
It could be a very nice asset for that section.

Yep I would completely endorse that ,it gives a better insight into the culture of the host country. But I think you miss my point. The penalties here are very strict so I am suggesting that for survival alone you need basic Arabic basic Arabic
