Um, What?

as i've said before, i think, i'm learning some arabic from the IA's stationed at my COP. i know enough to make basic small talk and a few specific phrases, but a lot of it is hard. they make some weird sounds that i don't understand and don't seem to be able to do. it's kinda like rolling my R's with spanish, except half the language is like that. ba'aana'la'araa. it's some kind of gutteral sound i didn't think humans could make. maybe i just need to learn how to pronounce a comma.
