aud’acious

Egyptian Ambassador to the United States Sameh Shoukry spoke at BYU today about Egyptian views of Peace and Politics in the Middle East.  My co-teacher, Mohamed El Naggar and I met him and his wife (seated just below in the picture) following the speech.  After I was introduced as an Arabic teacher the whole conversation was in Arabic.

I have to admit in the back of my mind I was saying to myself, “Don’t croak.  Don’t croak.”  But I held the conversation fine.  This is a huge success for me.
