[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tigerlily: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by 7aya: [b]i also want to know why so many foreigners come to egypt and not learn any arabic. in my high school my math teacher was in egypt for 30 years, 30 years and he doesn't speak arabic. would it have been the same if he was living in germany, or france? also my uncle's wife is american and she lived in egypt for ten years and didn't know except very basic arabic words like men fadlek, shemal, yemeen. unfortunatly there are many cases like that. i've met very few foreigners who were able to master the language. also as a side topic, i'm very curious to know what arabic sounds like to non arabic speaking people? best[/b][/QUOTE] For my part I can thank only the Egyptian people that they are indeed so welcoming and interested in foreigners and I think thats one of the reasons what kept me there so long. Though I never attended an Arabic school I picked up many words and Egyptian "slang" during the time. And actually I started almost a year ago out of desire with the reading and writing part of Arabic language. I think it depends very much on the person how much she/he is interested in getting to know the language better. As a foreigner you get easily by with the English or French language in Egypt, at the hotel resorts many Egyptians speak fluently Russian, German and Italian because of the business. 7aya you would be surprised how many German students actually signing up every year for learning the Arabic language at universities here in our country. Most people will use this knowledge for work purposes f. e. in Dubai. And definitely the Arabic language whether its the speaking or writing part is one of the most difficult languages on this earth. It takes a willing person, a huge interest, a strong motive to learn this language. [/QB][/QUOTE]
