Learn Arabic on your computer. The better programs (and more expensive ones) have enough flexibility and feedback to (almost) make up for not having a teacher.

It is certainly very convenient to be able to boot up your computer any time and practice your Arabic, drill in vocabulary and take quizzes in grammar.
Some courses let you record your voice to compare it to that of a native speaker.
Computer-based learning lets you learn and practice without embarassment.
