Re: Impress your friends
Bah! Learn to read and write Arabic properly - it'll only take you a few weeks (seriously, it's nowhere near as difficult as people think).
Being able to pronounce things written in Arabic, even if you don't actually understand what they mean, impresses the hell out of Arabic speakers; they automatically assume that all non-Middle Easterners won't have a clue.

Re: Impress your friends
i just find the lack-of-vowels aspect rather frustrating...i can read the consonants and even have a conversation with my barber (not a particularly erudite one but you know) - but with the reading, unless I you know the word before reading it, chances are the vowels are incorrect
