I know that reading Disney comics in Arabic is difficult for most non-Arabians but how do you read them if you have an issue from Saudi Arabia or Egypt? I have seen some Arabic Magazines on Inducks and I can't understand the letters but I'm fine at looking at the scans. Well, I can understand Russian better than Arabic.

The writing reads starting from the right side, and continuing in the left direction. Of course, you would need to learn the Arabic alphabet to read it. And then, you would need to learn the Arabic language to understand the words. I am sure that almost ALL the stories printed in the Saudi and Egyptian books (save for a few special stories) have been printed in magazines issued in the Egmont countries.

Yes, I know about that but If I was an Arabian then I would understand the Arabic alphabet and I would have no problem with reading comics in Arabic. Well, I noticed that you're one of the non-Arabians who have learned the Arabic language and can write comments in Arabic. It's great to see that you know how to write in Arabic letters. Of course, there are some fans who own some issues from other countries like France and Germany but they can't understand any French or German words and they only looked at the panels or other pictures instead.

Arabic is an official language of 22 countries and is spoken by 200,000,000 people. Okay, I admit I did not know that until two minutes ago after I looked at the MyEasyArabic site. It is a free online course of study. After you complete the free lessons, you have the option to contiinue and the first nine lessons are also free. I wonder what "Wak!" looks like in Arabic.

So, you know how to speak or write in Arabic or not? I think most of those people who speak Arabic are Arabians/Egyptians than non-Arabians/Egyptians because there are less non-Arabians/Egyptians people who have learn the Arabic language.

No, I can not read Arabic or speak Arabic. I live north of Los Angeles, where a very high percentage of the population speaks Spanish. I learned Spanish in 8th grade and 9th grade. I have a Spanish-language edition of the Christmas On Bear Mountain story, which I can read. The comic pictured here, however, I can not read.

OK, I know that you live in USA but it seems that many of the Americans knows how to write or speak Spanish. This Arabic scan is from one of the chapters/episodes of The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, right? The Egyptians also have made their own stories that are not translated from non-Arabic stories. You can see some of them here.

MOST of the stories printed in Arabic have been printed in many of the other Egmont countries. So, it would behoove English speakers to find those stories in languages thjat use The Roman Alphabet, and are languages of which those readers have some reading capability, or, at least are languages akin to English, such as Germanic or Latin-based, so the gist of the dialogue and action can be understood. It is only for those few original Arabic stories that an Arabic comic is necessary, and to my taste, the artwork in those is quite below standard, and thje stories are too simplistic.
I would guess that German, Spanish and French and Italian would be best.
