Am I finally going to learn Arabic?

Excellent workout today! I hit my chest nice and hard. I'll get more indication of how well I hit it if it's sore tomorrow or the next day. I'm quite satisfied that I was able to increase my reverse grip bench press weight to twenty-five pounds. I'll be super happy if I can improve that by one pound per workout going forward, but even 1/2 per workout would be very good. It'll probably be more like 1/2 per week, however, especially once I get up past thirty pounds. But that won't matter if thirty pounds puts mass on my chest.

Seems like maybe I finally found a search engine that'll give me appropriate images for Arabic words. It's been surprisingly difficult to find such a seemingly simple thing. When I search for Spanish, French, Russian, or German words, I get plenty of images for whatever I've searched for, especially if I'm looking for a concrete noun or simple verb. But I could search for the simplest Arabic word, the word for "boy," for example, and several search engines would give me a smorgasbord of irrelevant and curiously non-specific images, usually photos of a variety of people doing nothing in particular.

The lack of images is what's been holding me back from learning Arabic. I rely heavily on images to learn vocabulary, especially the concrete nouns and simple verbs that I always begin with when I start studying a new language.

Now let's see how far I can go. I've been stymied in my attempts with Arabic so many times thus far that I'm basically expecting it to happen at least a couple more times.
