Using nombers for arabic letters!
In Arabic forums and chatrooms we use nombers for letters that have no equivelant in English, here they are:

3: as in 3ali, 3adel, 3umar, 3abdallah.
5: as in 5alid, 5aleel (similar to the way Spanish people pronounce "Jose").
7: as in 7asan, 7usein.
8: as in 3ira8 (Iraq)
9: as in 9addam (lestin to how arabs pronounce his name, like pronouncing "S" with your mouth full of food!! :D ).

Alsalam Alaikum
"Salam" means peace in arabic, "alaikum" mean upon you or with you.

This is a typical way to greet people in middle east, mentioned in the bible many times: "peace be with you".

In arabic: AlSalam Alaikum
In Hebrew: Shalom ellekheen
In Assyrian: Shlama Amkhoon.

Hi, Originally from Iraq, I speak Arabic, also Assyrian (language of Christianity in middle east) and English as I live in Canada since 1999.

Like to learn Punjabi as most of my co-workers are punjabi.

Re:id like to learn british slangs and british sarcasm ..
Fahad, Dude,

"How's it hanging"? This means: how are you?

"Are you taking the mick", "Are you pulling my leg"? These mean: are you making fun out of someone, or over exaterating about something.

"Ya ard arse"! This means you're always complaining or crying about nothing.

"You pillick!" "You prat". This means you are an idiot.

"Don't grass on us". Don't tell on me.

I can't think of any more at the moment, when I can I'll tell you some more.

I hope that helps a bit.
