How do I know? My Syrian taxi driver told me the score in Arabic and I understood! On top of that, we passed the Iraqi Embassy which was causing a huge traffic jam on the way home. At first, I thought it was some sort of war demonstration. As we got closer, you could see sparklers and hear music. Iraq won the final game 1-0 against Saudi Arabia.
I only heard of the score because I started Arabic lessons today. Twice a week I’ll be taking classes that are a bit above my level, but I think after all the languages I’ve tried to learn, Arabic will be easy!
