Expat in uae.

I would love to learn some basic arabic. I have a number of emirati 'friends' now and all they seem to want to do is sit around and want to talk to me in english.

Andy is just being his normal pleasurable self as he knows basic things in arabic and uses them. He has also lectured me on learning basic words and to know that it shows alot of respect and our host nationals are surprised and pleased with someone just attempting.

Would give you some rep power, but seems the powers dont like all the rep spreading and cut us down to only a few clicks a day! I am over my limit this 24 hr period.
