    True, so come on ladies, give me a couple of lines. How do you say:

    What would you like to drink?
    What would you like for dinner?

    I am so sorry Al-khiyal, my sincere apologies. I suppose i just assumed that this was mainly a female dominated site.

    Thankyou for your help.

    Please help explain what the '3' is? How are you pronouncing it? HELP!

    Answers to your 'what is the 3?' question are here. It doesn't have a Western pronunciation equivalent so nobody can give you any 'as in.....' examples.

    Wesh habeet tshrub?

    Wesh habeet l'a3sha?

    not from me, lol - i asked my algerian friend

    (ps: that's how you'd say it if you were asking a guy)

    and the "3" represents the letter "ain" in Arabic.... (aka: the letter said 2 minutes into this video)

    Thanks BB..

    Lucky for me my accent is pretty good as i also speak fluent Polish. I don't pronounced algerian the way maybe an english person would, as alot of the pronounciations are similar to Polish.

    You're welcome

    I don't know what Polish sounds like, lol.... but hey, that's good.

    I know what you're talking about... when I was taking Spanish in high school - I was the only one in that class that could pronounce the words correctly... I guess it was cuz of the Arabic
