learn Iraqi-Style Arabic

Posted on February 20, 2005 by Sappho

Sol­diers and Marines serv­ing in Iraq will soon have a new tool intended to help keep them safe, and per­haps make their jobs eas­ier– a com­puter game designed to teach them how to speak Iraqi-style Arabic.

For exam­ple, if the Amer­i­cans barge into the cafe, refuse to take off their hel­mets and don’t give the proper greet­ings or show respect, things can go wrong in a hurry.

    Just give ‘em the ol’ thumbs up and OK signs!

    Marines love dust-ups in bars any­way, don’t they? ;)
