Which Arabic will I learn, Fusha or a dialect?
It depends on where you are going. Gulf, Levant, Egypt and North Africa each have their own dialect. Tell your teacher your destination or workplace and the lessons match it, with Modern Standard Arabic for formal situations.

Yes, for the essentials. A focused plan with several lessons a week covers greetings, transport, hotels, food, shopping and common work situations.
