"There are several regional dialects to the Arabic language. Right now we're learning the falafel sandwich shop dialect." | (Adult Ed. Conversational Hebrew) "My wife and I are taking the course together. I figure I only have to learn half as much, since she finishes all of my sentences anyway." | "I have to remember that Arabic is read the way it's written - right to left. I once read an Arabic recipe left to right and made a cup of rice, a pound of ground lamb, and a jar of greens out of a plate of stuffed grape leaves." | "So far you've called a rickshaw, a unicyclist, and a Zamboni. I really wish you'd learn the Italian word for taxicab." |
