Your family has moved to the beautiful country of Egypt and have just started getting a daily routine down. Everyone seems to be doing their own thing. The only quality family time you have is around the breakfast table. You have all agreed to speak Arabic during this time to ease your way into the Egyptian society. Every morning, you say, "Good morning," in Arabic, and everyone replies in Arabic. You then speak about your plans for the day and what time you will return home to grab a bite to eat, finish some last-minute errands, and go to sleep, before starting the cycle all over again. But as you sit down at the table this morning, it seems you and your father are the only ones who have made it. You ask in Arabic, "Where's mom?" He answers in Arabic, "She is brushing her teeth and washing her face." You are starving and really wish everyone would hurry up. You ask your father in Arabic, "Where is my little brother this morning?" In an annoyed tone, he answers in Arabic, "He is still in his bed waking up." Nice. You stare at your father for just a moment, trying to convey how hungry you are in your stare. Finally, he tells you in Arabic, "Oh go ahead! Eat breakfast!" Looks like you have broken this daily routine! Learning Arabic with ArabicPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Arabic!
