Languages come in family trees.
Arabic and Hebrew are written backwards and without any vowels.
Well, they do sort of have vowels, but only three and they also stand for consonants.
Writing the teacher's name in Arabic (transliterated, of course)
Glottal stops. One boy claimed his dad always made them say their Ts. Poor kid.
Fun with Gutturals. (during this part the intercom kept coming on, and they office can hear us.)
Three letters that all mean "th".
Three letters that all mean "h". Kind of like the three bears.
Latin had no word meaning "the". La, el, and Le all came from Al. The moors invaded spain in the middle ages.

Words from Arabic: Alligator, Aluminum, Alcohol, schedule.
Look, I have some books written in these languages which I cannot read.
There is a hardness scale of how hard it is to learn languages.
