Often a strange French with a mixture of Arabic words coming here and
there.... As one Tunisian friend of mine used to say : we use the
first word coming in mind, indeed. This was kinda funny when I used to
play volley-ball at the "Cité Universitaire" in Paris, with mostly
Moroccan and Tunisian students. They sometimes had to remember there
were one or two poor guys on the field which just could understand
helf of the words they said....:-)

In any case, all this was indeed very friendly and interesting
exchanges like I always experienced with people from Northern Africa.

I'm driving that mailing list way off topic...apologies, people...:-)
