Get away to somewhere nice, have a well deserved break and don't forget your passport, luggage, travel guide... and most importantly do take us along for the ride (in mp3 podcast form, of course)! If travelling to an Arab country, prior to departure you will need to listen to this useful podcast to get the lowdown on all things 'travel' and learn how to book yourself a few nights in a hotel in Arabic.

Hi;
I heard before that you can use (Ar3'ab fee) to mean (I want) and (Ar3'ab 3an) to mean (I don't want),, is that true,, noticed you've used it in the exercise (Fill the gaps) but could not find any resource about it to confirm.

It is absolutely true ArabicBoy;
Ar3'ab (أرغب) always depends on what comes after it. If it is followed by (fee - في) then it means (I want), and if it is followed by (3an - عن)then it means (I do not want).
Good point ArabicBoy.

Yes, you can write a 100 in Arabic as مائة but you can also write it as مئة

As a test I searched google for مائة and it returned 2,780,000 and when I searched for مئة it returned 1,240,000 results. So they're both widely used
