I love the sound of the Arabic language. I could listen to it all day long although I only understand about 4 words. Yalla, walla, shuckran and insha'allah. And then I don't pick them up if they are in a sentence.
I have a friend who has lived in the UAE nearly all of his life so speaks the Arabic of the Gulf like a local. He introduced me to his friend who was born in the UAE but who's parents are Syrian. My friend is Algerian, he can understand the Syrian Arabic but the Syrian can't understand the Algerian Arabic as its a mixture of French bits so they talk in local Arabic or English.
I found it fascinating.
My Algerian friend was explaining to his friend in Arabic that I live on a farm.
I knew that because he was jabbering on and then he said Ei Ei O.
I know more Arabic than I realised!
