Arabic

Hello, how are you? I'm d bless you! These everyday expressions all have something in

common; hard to put one's finger on, though. Yes, that's it! They are repetitive, forced and often too generic

to say what one really means. By being so used to their sounds and meanings people become tired of them;

it starts to sound like bs asking someone, "I'm fine, thanks, and how are you?"

So why not add a little spice to the soup? Try Arabic. In a language with a different letter system and where

"Ahlan wasa lan" means welcome, what's not to like? Arabic is all new to me, whereas French was the same

letters with a slick accent. Arabic is a pretty tricknasty language, and I think everyone should give it a try.
