There is an interesting article in the Gulf News on Emiratis who have grown up in the UAE and prefer not to speak Arabic. One woman mentions that she speaks primarily English at home and doesn't want to speak Arabic because she feels as though she might make mistakes. This reminds me of my wife's stories growing up in Saudi Arabia. Her father was Egyptian and growing up in Saudi I immediately thought she could speak fluent Arabic, however, she explained that her father never spoke Arabic at home which made it difficult for her to pick up the language.
