N.O.R.F Posted January 2, 2013 Allah dawil cumrak Waar heedhe, af carabigii baaba igu soo noqday. I went to transfer my UK license to a Saudi one today. I was dreading going there as the driver was too busy and I wanted to get it in time for the weekend. Got pics taken, license copied, money paid, eye test done, translation into Arabic done and all without a word of English (af Somaali ba iga soo baxa for some reason). Getting there.

NGONGE Posted January 2, 2013 ^^ Maxaad o amaanaysa? He spent SEVEN long years in the Arab world and he still can't speak proper Arabic. Adigo you probably spent less time in Holland and your Dutch is (I assume) quite good. Jeddah is a different place to Dubai. I expect Norf to be speaking fluent Arabic within six months. (thanks for the duca). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted January 2, 2013 ^Exactly. I have little choice here. Laakin qaylow badanaa dadkani lol juxa xaaji casiir went to school here. Can't beat his Arabic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abu-Salman Posted January 2, 2013 Resolution: Cuntada carbs leh iska yaree (difficult) Well, oats are great for many reasons; for usual pasta etc, besides drinking enough water daily, you can start with salad/maraq or switch to greens/fish on its own. Chew calmly till it's liquid or almost and relax before eating/thinking food. It seems simple yet so hard in practice with daily stress. Had seen this mini size yet almost complete Arabic reference tool used by this revert friend: Pocket phrasebook/dictionary/usage (handy, complete for beginners; those authors "mastering arabic 2" by Palgrave is another not boring hit, skip the 1 if you have very basics). (the chunking method: from basic fluency to mastery, more general tips and memorisation software) The Quran is great practice too (just the juzz Cama has around half of the 2000 words or so: 80percentwords) as wadaads learned and still learns it simply through their lectures and mutuun such as shafici concise fiqh intro etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good Luck with the rest of day at work - the cake feeling is just sign of you already missing your cake buddy - horta has she fly out yet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted January 2, 2013 What does "Seedigay ma noqon?" mean? Are you offering me a Qardhaawi way in? p.s. I had a deal with KK, she's bringing up the girls for my boys (well, the deal was for the one boy but now I think we can agree to do a package).
