This explains a lot of why I think Arabic looks so beautiful on the page. I also love the way it can sound when spoken. Shame I don't have reason good enough to take the years I would need to learn it.

Learning language is like learning poetry. Your appreciation of the thing grows proportionally with the practice. Which means you don't need to learn to fluency to appreciate Arabic. Even modest practice, just learning to write the alphabet, will increase your appreciation for the language if that's what you'd like to do.
Have experienced this with a bilingual relative whos language i have learned bits and pieces of both of us enjoy it. They give you little challenges from time to time too which is fun
It's funny -- I hate the way Arabic sounds when spoken, even though I agree it looks pretty. To my ears French and Japanese sound the nicest.
