Our First Arabic Lesson

On one of our trips to the market, we got to talking with our driver, Omar. Turns out he's Libyan (not everyone is) and he was willing to teach us some Arabic words. But he said he was teaching us in the Libyan accent, so it's not quite right to say we learned Arabic but that we learned some Libyan.

We learned:

Thank you - Shoo-kran

You're welcome - af-wan

Airport - mah-tar

We tried to get the Arabic writing for those words on here, but it was impossible for us to find in a decent form. But we think you get the idea. So practice up, so that when you visit us, you can speak the language of the natives!
