Good morning ladies. Happy Sunday all. Woohoo for the weekend!!

Another overcast day here in Cairo, though it's bright so I suppose there is some sun coming through the clouds. And much warmer than yesterday. With some humidity as well. Gross! lol

I got the Rosetta Stone learning program for Arabic, has anyone else here used it? I'm a little nervous to try it, but hopefully it will be okay. And it's not like being in a class where I only have so long (as long as the class is) to learn.

Is the Rosetta in Egyptian Arabic? I'm using the Pimselur (sp?) right now.

No, it's not Egyptian Arabic. I wish it was, that would be great. I also have a copy of the Pimselur one, but I didn't like it so well, though I have to admit I didn't give it a huge chance.

Between the two programs, I guess I have a decent shot at learning, as long as I apply myself.

How are you finding the Pimselur?

I like it alot...I feel more comfortable understanding Egyptian Arabic conversations now. I just listen in the car on the way to work, etc. I'm thinking about Rosetta Stone but I don't believe they have Egyptian Arabic.

Happy Sunday MENA

Swine flu....I'm soooo SICK of hearing about it. It's a flu, yes infants and elderly die from the flu all the time and guess what, 3rd world countries that have deaths from it, typically 3rd world countries have deaths from flus and other things we do not here in the US. GRRR....Okay, done b!tiching. But I do wish I had off work for it!

If anyone has time...will ya vote for Nour (we entered her picture in a baby contest for a local radio station). You can vote as many times as you like day after day! She could win 2k! I'm thinking a good start for a college fund! http://www.mix969.com/pages/baby-idol/vote...gid=5&id=20

Wishing everyone a wonderful Sunday!!

I think the reason why everyone keeps talking about it is because it is the same virus that killed 60-100 million people in 1918, and it is spreading fast enough to equate to the beginning of a pandemic, hence the level 5 alert from the world health organization. This strain isnt as virulent as the strain in 1918, therefore it isnt as deadly thank gd. If it WERE as virulent, we would all be screwed. Lets hope it doesnt mutate and get worse, its not impossible.

While some flu viruses in history have proven incredibly deadly and unpredictable, many would-be-pandemics turned out to be quite mild....So....I'm still sick of hearing about it.
