What language does the staff speak together?
Hebrew. Their Hebrew is better than our Arabic. That's the only reason. I try, but the thing is that I studied Fus-ha1 for so many years that my spoken Arabic is not so hot. So for them it's easier, I think, to express themselves. Firas,2 for example, I think he's making a point to speak in Arabic and I appreciate it very much. Also because it improves my Arabic, but I think that is the way to do it. Actually, at the beginning I now remember that we said that everybody would speak in his own language, but somehow it has worked out more easily for everybody to speak in Hebrew.
