I love the facts that start with "Did you know?" they trigger attention and especially if they are related to your field of education. It is amazing how the alphabets and consequently the language define cultures. It is also important to mention that our Arabic language is the second hardest language to be learned all over the world. This in fact shows the richness of such a language and a culture.
