M: The engine is still in good condition. I plan to fix up the interior and paint the car myself. Then it will be worth even more money. W: So then you'll resell it?

M: So, how long have you been living here? W: About six months now. M: Why did you choose Beirut? W: Because, Mike-my husband-and I have always loved Arab culture and the language. Mike's an English teacher and he got a job here in a language school. M: Why did you want to take a year off? W: Basically I wanted a break from teaching. I love teaching children but I needed a change. Also I've been drawing and painting since I was little but I've never really had the chance to study drawing. So this seemed like the perfect opportunity to have a change and learn to draw properly. M: Well, I found a fantastic art teacher, called Omayma, and I've been having classes with her since October. She's great and she speaks English, which is lucky, because I don't know much Arabic yet. But I'm learning the language as quickly as I can. W: Is Arabic a difficult language to learn? M: Incredibly difficult! Especially the pronunciation. You have to learn to make a lot of new sounds., Question: What is most difficult for the woman about learning Arabic? (A) Grammar. (B) Pronunciation. (C) Idioms.
(B) Pronunciation.
