hi,helc!
I like both English and movie ,so I like this TV program and often take notes .
I believe"Practice makes perfect."

not 100%, when I go to Jeddah Saudi Arabia, there's many indians and pakistans, and I can't understand when they talk with me in Arabic. they told me this is the language from market. different from the one we learn in the school.

顺便讲讲date这个词。date做"约会"这个意思讲时，可以做动词，如date someone 约会某人，也可以做名词，是1、约会；2、约会对象的意思，如1、I have a date tonight. 2、My date is meeting me at seven.
另外date还有一个意思也许很多人都不知道，就是"枣子"。

date is very famous in middle east, specailly in Saudi Arabia and Iraq. every time I go there, I buy date. (椰枣)
