Just to let you guys know, the new nicknames are actually sticking pretty well. In fact, our teacher always calls Gary "Greese" now without even laughing! We still laugh when we call Blake "Catfish", because, let's be honest, it's a funny word.
We have decided to start a recurring video series on the blog that features us having a conversation in Arabic. We will try to post a new one every couple of weeks so you guys can see how we are progressing in our language learning.
So far, we have learned several different polite greetings and goodbyes, numbers, colors, a lot of random nouns (foods, book, market, pen, train, dog, etc.), and how to ask a few different questions (How much? What's your name? Can I see that?...). Pretty good, huh?
In this short episode, Greese will be playing the part of the store owner, and Catfish will be playing the shopper. We hope you enjoy!

Genius!
That is really great guys, when yall get back, I want you to teach me to say "uhhhh" in Arabic. That, and "ahhh" and "do you have any Grey Poupon?"
That's pretty impressive. We really liked the intro and the subtitles! Great job guys! Are you going to teach Emmy to speak Arabic? If you do that you definitely need to post a blog on that!
I love reading about what is going on there! Glad that you are all together making the class fun!
