Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Nah. My parents and the rest of my family were born in Pakistan (idk if they speak Urdu or Arabic but they're really similar anyways) and they use it so much I can just end up understanding a conversation even though I can't read and hardly write it. I learned the alphabet and the accents from my dad though while he was trying to teach me stuff lol.
I can only understand Arabic when someone is talking to me (kind of weird I guess lol). never really knew how to read it. I know my alphabet and the "accents" placing so technicially I can write it but I'd not be able to understand a lot of what I would be saying lol.
Hey, we're facing each other in the law battle tourney. I'm GMT-4, generally available late evenings (around 10pm), but some afternoons can work as well. Lemme know what time is good for you.
