Why are you doing Arabic homework? I seem to have missed something.
Hi Jane, it's not me doing the arabic homework it's Marino (Daniele's brother) who's in Egypt this summer studying the language.
Oh..and here I thought you were becoming tri-lingual. Do you speak Japanese? Then you could be quadlingual.
Where in Egypt is he? Does he experience any of the unrest?
