Welcome to the DAY12 Phrase Book
ARABIC
Compiled
for The
DAY12 Phrasebook
by Ahmed
Al-Maneah (Saudi Arabia)
The
DAY12 Phrase
Book has been
lovingly compiled by Day12
readers from around the world to arm you with a few words
and phrases for your next destination. From
basic vocabulary such as 'Yes',
'No' and 'Thank-you',
and simple structures like, 'Where
is the..?' and 'How much is
this?' to the more advanced, 'I'm
bored of talking. Shall we
go to bed?' and 'Is that a
ghost?!', The
DAY12 Phrase
Book will help
you get by with the minimum of fuss and the maximum of fun.
Enjoy,
or as they say in France,
'Cafe
au lait!'

if they suggest any useful phrases, let us know and we'll
add them to the list.
