In this episode you hear Amani read to you an informal email invitation to a dinner party and the reply. Now, in reality if someone declines our invitation we send them another sixteen messages and ask them why they can't make it, not listen to their reasons and insist some more. If you ever exchange emails with a friend from Amman, expect those lengthy messages and the repeated: Yalla, please come, don't disappoint me!
