ahhh .. don't remind me.
This was one of the very sad things i noticed when i went there. People do make a case to speak in English amongst each other even if they are all Arabs. WTF ???!!!!!!!

welcome back
Bjad? shakelha soorya is the only survivor!
Keef y3ni? Give an example.
I know its ridiculous, suddenly everyone has to speak in English with that ridiculous Ammani accent even though everyone can actually understand and speak Arabic! Its sad that you come back from abroad really wanting to speak your language but people give you that reaction like 'oh he doesn't speak English!'. Il mushkileh inno kull 7akihom mkassar.
