I know conversational arabic. I learned it as a nine year old. it's my second language. and the conversational arabic I learned is egyptian which is less like fus'ha than saudi.
but I can understand...oh, 90% of the quran..there are words I've never heard before but for the most part, it's understandable. I wouldn't compare it to latin, that's for sure.
