Do you want to learn some Arabic words and how to pronounce them properly (from an American English-speaking point of view) ??   

I respectfully request that Manal and Heba keep me "on track."     I would not want to guide anyone astray, and they KNOW their own language!! 

A few words and/or phrases in each "lesson"...

How are you?  (Directed to a woman.) -- Keef hal ick?

How are you?  (Directed to a man.)  -- Keef hal ack?

I am fine.  (From a woman.)  -- Ana kwi ee sa.

I am fine.  (From a man.)  --  Ana kwi ees.

Please come in (or please sit down).

    (Directed to a man.)  --  It fud' dal.

    (Directed to a woman.) -- It fud' dal ee.

    (To two or more people.) -- It fud' dal oo.
