Ah...I grew up in the United Arab Emirates... Had Arabic as a compulsary third language... part of the Ministry of Education's weird rules...(which also included making sure that boys and girls did not study together...i know... weird... but i lived with it...)
Unfortunately during the process I learnt how to write and read stuff pretty well... but when it comes to vocabulary and understanding...I suck...
So you from Lebanon... huh?...You must definitely be knowing about artists such as Nancy Ajram then... she was just so HOT 8O ... But yeah she does have one of the most amazing voices I've heard from an Arab artist...
