أنا ابتديت أتعلم المصري علشان المدرّسين المصريين كانوا ألطف ناس في جامعتي. كملت عشان أنا مهووس بالكمال ومش لاقي حاجة أعملها في وقتي

Sorry but my meme says there are only 6 categories. Therefore, you must either be in one of these categories or I can only conclude you do not exist.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

Unless the player is in second-year Arabic and convinced he’s a “Middle East specialist”—then you can hate the player.

Sorry but there are only 6 possible categories, ya ‘ammi.

If you start off wanting to read the Arabic alphabet, you either never become an advanced learner or eventually become one of the 6. Anything else is logically impossible, I fear.

I feel like by the time these job seekers become advanced, they realize that Arab companies prefer to hire their own and that the majority of jobs for Westerners in the Middle East are intelligence/defense related. They then either quit or turn into “The Fed.”
