Thanks for your help from last lesson and another cool fun lesson. When you are watching tv how do you say "what time is ..... on at?" and "what is your favourite tv program?"
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks -
Hay David,
To say “What time is .... on at?” You can say
Mata yabda2 .... ?
متى يبدأ....؟
Which means when does ... start?
To say "what is your favourite tv program?" You can say
Maa huwa barnaamejuk almufa9’al?
ما هو برنامجك المفضل؟
Hope this helps -
Excellent lesson!
I was surprised to hear that Ehab had only just discovered where the word ليش comes from. I've know it for a number of years...I just worked it out during my Arabic studies. Anyhow, لا باس ان شاء الله -
Here's one I'm struggling with: where does the word بعدين come from? Could it be بعد اد (the letter dhal seems to be missing from the Arabic Keyboard) or even بعد حين ?

Could you please check the spelling of "almusalsal" in the pdf-transcript: it would appear that the "mim" is missing all three times on page 1.

Anis, I think (ba3deen) is coming from two (ba3d) like (ba3d) twice.
Mwanafunzi, This is just because of the font, the (mim) is underneath the (laam),, and this font is widely used in Arabic papers and books,, it is better to get used to it ;) .

Thank you, I see what you mean, although the typescript you use for Arabic is rather on the small side, and that makes it difficult to distinguish all the characters. I am really a beginner, but I thought I would plunge into the Lower Intermediate level to see what it was like. Another problem I have here is that I cannot see any short-vowel markings (tashkeel), which makes it difficult to figure out the pronunciation from just looking at the transcript. I will return to the Beginner level lessons and try to gain confidence there.

Many thanks Ehab.

Although I am a dentist in the Philippines,I have been working for two years as a dental assistant in Saudi Arabia, because of the fact that we Filipinos cannot speak Arabic. In time, we are able to communicate with the patients by using what we have learned from our fellow Filipinos,which is limited, mostly medical terms,common objects and simple verbs.
I feel blessed and truly grateful I found your website, for I have been searching for a way to learn the language,and hopefully be able to work as a dentist.Books and tapes are good, but incomparable to you guys. You both are simply THE BEST!
Lower Intermediate - Change the channel
August 1st, 2008 | 1 comment |
Whatever part of the world you live in, from China to Timbuktu, from Afghanistan to France, the words 'Change the channel' echo through the households of common citizens alike. It's a fight for what to watch and a compromise must be made! Tune in to this neat lesson and make sure you take control of the TV and put up a good fight; all in Arabic.
