Haha it's okay, your english accent makes up for it! I'm gonna call you again tommorow so we can talk. :) The bomb put me in a bad mood too, it's right next to my aunt's house.
I always ask my family why they didn't teach me French when I was younger. They said I didn't want to learn. Okay, honestly, what does a two year old actually WANT to do because eat cookies and play in sand boxes? Argh!
Although I've never been to Lebanon, from all the t.v. shows we get from there, it seems as though English and French are widely spoken to me. Maybe you could find a relative who is learning or speaks english and let them practice their english on you in exchange for them teaching you or helping you practice arabic? It worked with my cousin in Syria, but I think I gained a lot more than she did. Plus if you're ever going to learn Arabic I'd say while you're living in Lebanon is the best time. I don't know how interested you would be in this, but I know in Syria there are always schools set up teaching Arabic over the summer and my American cousin did that for a month or so and learned to read and write. Might be worth a try.
so i am fluent and i thought i should let you know that "kisse" translated literally means "my pussy". it's gross, but there you go. im sure you had a street full of people momentarily entertained. have fun for the rest of your time there :)

non_se_quitur here, I have a new Livejournal so add this one.
just talk to people and you should be able to pick up some arabic.
Have you ever been to Rahbe? I might be going there next summer.
