Brad,

I'm like Nagi...I can't say it here.

Most of it I learned from my best friend growing up (although her dilect is Gulf Arabic so some of it was a bit off talking to him in Egyptian Arabic...yes there is a difference ). But for some reason and this goes for English as well...cursing in any language is easier to learn. I have figured out why. When we curse, we say it loud and typically pronounce the word properly (making sure those that offended us hear us curse them!) hehe So its the same in any language...they pronounce it so well, how could you not learn it? Right?

But of course, I learned: I love you, please, thank you and etc.

Justin's first Spanish sentences/ words:

Gracias= Thank you

De nada = You're welcome

Hola, como estas = Hi, how are you?

Quedate con el cambio = Keep the change (we were taking cabs a lot in Buenos Aires and he kept asking me to say that for him to the driver and I'm like "you should learn that already!")

Baño= Restroom

Te amo= I love you

Yo tambien the amo mi amor = I love you too my love (that one took a little while )

Saludos,

Caro
