Arabic

[Rival]

I'm drunk.

Why can't I speak and write Arabic as well as DS speaks and writes English.

It's not fair.

But I can do Middle English and Mediaeval Ffrensh and I bet you don't know where the word loo comes from.

Or that we need to resurrect 'folcuidance'.

Folcuidance is an Old Norman word meaning 'foolish belief'. Fol (fool), cuidance from 'credo', modern French 'crois' (believe), 'croyance' (belief), as you'll know

Please tell me, do students still not get hangovers?

Haha.

I wasn't that drunk. I had a glass of wine and 2 ales. Barely gives me a headache, but if it were just wine that would do me in; I react badly to it: Ask the doctor: What causes red wine headaches? - Harvard Health

I'm generally not prone to hangovers if I drink ales, spirits etc., so wine is the only alcohol that's ever made me seriously ill.

Short form is that you learn to form sound blends (eg. Dipthongs) when very young (first few years) the send the rest of your life using these sounds to form words.

It's much trickier for an adult to adjust how they form sounds, and would impact on how you'd sound in your native tongue if you could.

That's why the majority of people from one region will share accent characteristics (albeit to varying degrees) if they all learnt the same second language.

It can be worth playing around with reds without sulfites or lower tannin levels. Organic wines, for example.

You know any brands to look for?

Ha!! I've got a bottle of Shaw's Road right in front of me, but that's pretty unlikely to help you! (Shaws Road Winery | Restaurant & Cellar Door)
Sorry, the Aussie wine scene is strong, and I don't often buy outside it whilst in Oz. Had a nice organic (and kosher) wine whilst in Tuscany a few years back, but I'm not sure that would be a cheap option or readily available option. (Cantina Giuliano Kosher Winery and Restaurant in Tuscany)

(Equally, Aussie wines are often overpriced overseas)

One thing I do know, though...organic wines can commonly have a shorter shelf life, and are bought more as drinkers than cellar-wines. So I'd look to the domestic market, and sample widely.

New RF Owners!

Hi, all, I would like to announce that some of the Arabs and Arab-speaking people on RF have reached a deal to buy RF from @Rex. The buyers are me, @Godobeyer, @Smart_Guy, @TashaN, and @FearGod. The deal is sponsored by Smart Guy's friend Abu Rashed (AKA Hossam). Since Abu Rashed doesn't speak...
