Giving some tongue

Locals are always appreciative of foreign visitors taking the time to learn a few of the common phrases in the local language (especially in Egypt, from what I understand). I have found a free MP3 online that has a basic vocabulary lesson, as well as site that lists these English to Arabic expressions (which I have printed out). So hopefully during my 11 hour plane ride I can master some of these local phrases and wow my friends.
