Arabic and French

I have come to the realization that in Morocco, not will I need to learn how to communicate in a Berber dialect and Arabic script, but French is a dominant language for business purposes, as well. So, while I will be officially learning the first two courtesy of the Peace Corps, my friends have gotten me a game for Nintendo DS called My French Coach. It is working well - I know things like counting to one hundred, days, months, time, and basic sentence structure for French. That's a relief. I received the Arabic training files through the Peace Corps website and just saw images of Arabic script - I didn't realize that the script of the same letter is written slightly differently whether it is at the beginning, middle, or end of a word. This is going to be fun.
