Subject:Large Vocabulary Query

I am told that Arabic has a larger vocabulary than English, and is
generally harder to learn than English.  Arabs who have studied English
for a year seem to have a better grasp of the language than Americans
who
have studied Arabic for a year.  Could anyone comment on such issues
from
anecdotal experience and/or refer me to studies that have been done to
address them?
