Favorite mistakes thusfar in Arabic class:

"My name is Sidney -- thanks be to God."

"I am American -- and by the way, I am delicious."

More to come, I'm certain

"I am American -- and by the way, I am delicious."

Where's the mistake? I'm using this line the next time I'm in Paris or Berlin.

I managed to confuse the word for milk (halib) with the word for bill/check (heseb) a few times.

"Ya sharif! Al-halib, men fudlik!"

(Waiter! The milk, please!)
