What's a good Arabic program?

Q: Assalamuaalaykum Shaykh, I want to learn Arabic, but I'm not sure what the best method is. I'm a working professional so investing in a program that costs some money is not a problem. Is there anything you'd recommend? JazaakAllahuKhair.

A: Wa ‘alaykum al-salam. The best program in my opinion would be to find a local teacher who can give you a regular time commitment and is familiar with teaching Arabic as a 2nd language. The key will be consistency. All the best.
