Senor Domnic,
Thank you, I do agree with you that in the Arab world a lot of them have
problems in pronouncing a few alphabets but it is not so obvious with the
Emaraties (UAE nationals) but the Egyptians, Yemenis, Palestinians and Syrians
it's more than obvious.
In my old Company in Abu Dhabi I use to have a regular Palestinian visitor by
the name of Hussain, a huge muscular guy but a very cool and simple and down to
earth business man with a liking for luxury cars and he had many, sports Range
Rover and a Lamborghini among many others whish he use to allow me to drive in
our "barking". Initially he was aloof and I did not take to him much but as
time progressed the mutual respect only grew, he liked Goans and use to always
tell me that Goans were very nice and honest people and I use to feel proud of
being a Goan and as time passed we started pulling each others legs, as soon as
he entered my office I use to ask asking, where is you car Mr. Hussain and he
use to say loudly, "in the barking" then I use to ask him the name of my
Company, which was "Protech" he would always say "Brotech" then I use to teach
him to say pa paaark parking and Poroo, Prot Protech but he could never get it
right and I use to tell him that barking is what t
he dogs do and that we park our cars not bark but unfortunately it was of no
use, so then when even I use to ask him where his car was he would just say "
in the bouk bouk like a puppy. Unfortunately just before I left Abu Dhabi in
2005 he passed away in a road accident in Jordan. May his soul rest in peace.
