I'm working on Arabic, Japanese and Mandarin.. Here's what i've memorized from my Arabic lessons.

Proper Spelling (Pronunciation) Meaning ~

Sabaah (sa-ba-a) a morning.
Masaah (ma-sa-a) an evening.
Shukran (shoe-krawn) thank you.
Al-madhaadira (al-maazera) the forgiveness.

Right now I can't remember the difference between afham, alfaaw, and afwaan. The meanings are: you're welcome, I beg your pardon, and uh.. >< I forgot. Flash card time! Lol.
