We like to joke about the words that French speakers have trouble with in English and the words that English speakers have trouble with in French while at work. It's a two way street so I wouldn't really consider it being made fun of. The word I cannot get as an English speaker is Pedro in Spanish. I keep destroying it after trying to learn it for years.
This is a wonderful article with reasons why to learn and teach Arabic in schools in English speaking countries. If anyone has similar articles, please post!

I am a Chemistry Ph.D. student. Both my husband and I are in graduate school. I would also like to talk on Skype. Please let me know if you're interested. Or, if anyone else is interested in trading English for Arabic. NL: English
