I'm doing the same. I got the Rosetta Stone CD-ROm but found it hard to use. I got a new one yesterday, Talk Now and it seems must better. I',m starting to recognise some words now but ask me what dog is and it's another story.
Ah ha...at least I know what dog is - kelb (soft 'B') as Arabs tend to use it as a derogatory remark! try and get a CD/book that teaches Egyptian Arabic. I think that's always been part of my problem - my husband tells me the Egyptian word then proceeds to tell me that it's different in formal Arabic, and tells me that too! I then give up
. Hi All when here i can help in parctice for arabic for freeAh ha...at least I know what dog is - kelb (soft 'B') as Arabs tend to use it as a derogatory remark! try and get a CD/book that teaches Egyptian Arabic. I think that's always been part of my problem - my husband tells me the Egyptian word then proceeds to tell me that it's different in formal Arabic, and tells me that too! I then give up
Arabs everywhere apparently understand Egyptian as many films and TV programmes are made there - just like most English speaking countries understand the different American accents, phrases etc. My husband barely understands e.g. Tunisian Arabic as it's heavily accented - maybe like an American wouldn't understand a Glaswegian! They'll all understand formal Arabic, if that's what you use, but in Egypt they'll speak back to you in Egyptian Arabic! Is it any wonder I barely speak a word of it!!!
Hi Clara and welcomeI am considering moving to Egypt and i am looking for work in the real estate industry, because i understand the property market is doing really well. I have been working in the industry for over 13years, both in Spain and Hungary.
Please can anyone give me some advise on any real estate companies looking for field sales excutives, and also the + and - of living/ working there.
Thank you.
Clara
200 $ no way to be enough for livingHi all!
I do speak arabic and I'm not egyptian))
As for Clara I think you will easily find a job in Real Estate in Hurghada, just look in big companies. Native english speaker will never get lost there.
As for the money... I think 200 dollars enough for one person per month, but only on food and without eating and drinking out.
i said only for food and cook at home.... but it depends how much one eats)
somewhere in Sakkala without swimming pool and good view about 310$. But note that you will pay extra for electricity, water and doorman. With swimming pool i think will be more then 800$ per month, but in Mostaba i remember was possible to rent a studio for 300$ (nice view swimming pool, but on the hill which makes this residence very difficult to get into if u don't have a car).What would you say is the cost of living? and also the rent for a nice apartment, located close to all amenities, good views, 2 bedrooms and a swimming pool in the development.
Also with regards to work, what sort of salary is the norm for someone in real estate, or is it commision only?
may be you shouldn't eat so much go on dieti said only for food and cook at home.... but it depends how much one eats)
I'm already on diet.... lolmay be you shouldn't eat so much go on diet
