Syria Two - Transcription
Okay, I was born in Syria, uh, actually no sorry I was born in Saudi Arabia, but my original country is Syria. Uh, the city is Riyadh. It's the capital of Saudi Arabia. I studied there, spent my life until I was eighteen, and then I moved here to U.S. to study. My business, my major is business administration accounting. Uh, I am a junior. In Syria it's the same language as Arabic, but, like, every Arabic country has a different accent. Uh I can speak and understand both accents since I live there, and I'm from Syria. Like, home with my family I speak Syrian, but outside with my friendS if they are Syrian I speak Syrian if they are Saudi I speak Saudi. Yeah. I know other, like some other accents, but I can't speak it like Egyptian or Moroccan. They're all Arabic, but they use different accents. Ok I will say: My favorite sport is soccer. Uh in Syrian accent we say....[SPEAKS IN SYRIAN DIALECT OF ARABIC] and Saudi's accent....[SPEAKS IN SAUDI DIALECT OF ARABIC]
