Only in Egypt...

Only in Egypt would I walk into a final exam on the day I wasn't assigned to go at 4:20 p.m,, and say to my professor "Before we start, I just want to ask can we make this very quick? I have to give a presentation on the other campus at 4:30." The professor smiles, laughs, and says "Of course, you know all of this already."

I'm done my colloquial Arabic final exam in five minutes.

Seeing the 12th May posting, you definitely mastered informal, conversational Arabic. Did you provide another demonstration of your cursing?

:D

In my defense, the conversation related above DID take place in Arabic. My professor doesn't speak English.

And no, I did not demonstrate my knowledge of *ahem* especially informal Arabic.
