Merci Oct 7, 2015

My five cents: sometimes I listen to a morning show at a UAE radio station (I like Arabic music). To the best of my knowledge, the country has never been a French or Belgian colony, yet the DJ uses merci even more frequently than shukran (or combines both words). And there are lots of other English and/or French words scattered in the speech, in the ads. Sometimes, I can swear that I understand them
