Do you ever wonder why your arabic is still rubbish even though you had live for 8 months in Egypt?
Don't you ever want to improve your arabic?
Do you really think that by just sitting around will improve your arabic?


Think again.


Well, there's this activity that you can consider doing to increase your arabic vocab and communication.

What you'll need:
  1. time
  2. money
  3. more money
  4. idea
  5. stamina
yeah, that's just what you'll need for this activity. it's very simple.

here's what to do.
warning: do not blame me for wasting your time on reading this post.

1. wait for a bus at 'gamie' or 'bawabah'. (or wherever you prefer)
2. just hop in any bus. repeat, ANY bus.
3. take a nap (if you got seated) or just stand. Instead, you just can start your activity here. Try to start a talk with the 'ammu ugrah'. About any topic you like.
4. Exit the bus at the last station (akher mahathah). Note: You're supposed to not know where you are.
5. Here comes the fun part (oh yeah?). Try to find your way home without taking the bus you have just took. and, of course, without taking a taxi (that would be your last choice).
6. it's supposed to be very easy. so then, instead of going home early, take another bus (any bus) so that you extremely have no idea where you are at.
7. now, find your way home


Tips & Info
- egypt people are kind. if you say you are lost, sometime they will ride you home. but beware though. no all people are that kind. you know what i mean.
- there is a saying in malay "malu bertanye sesat jalan"
- you may test this in another country and/or different language. but it is only tested in egypt with arabic (ammiyah)
- not recommended for girls
- try to go home before maghrib. it'll be dangerous afterwards.
- egyptian-arab like to talk. so if you do talk alot, basically, it should not be about one topic only.
- egyptian-arab is crazy about football. but they don't care about any football team out of their country. ha ha.

there you have it. masyi arabic in just days. like i said, don't blame me for wasting your time on reading this post. it's just a lame idea after all. but's it's worth trying it, no need of extra exercise, no need of unnecessary pills, no need of diet. it's just that simple. also proven by the infamous azri iskandar.
