Good lesson, very good.

What a cute lesson... reminds me of the other one where you had someone say 'Ana 7ashraan'...

Quick questions... is the imperative of r-q-9= urQu9? Would you here that in pop music? Hehe...how would you say 'Come on everybody, let's dance all night...' Why not have a lesson on discos/ going out for parties and their place in Arab culture?
Does the phrase after 'ihtaaj an' take the subjunctive?
Tabawwal is a Form V verb right...so surely it had some derivation- what would b-w-l imply by themselves?
The other word for toilet is Mir7aa9', right? So what does r-7-9' imply as a root?
All in all a great lesson...though I doubt I'm ever going to use atabawwal

The verb "arkus" (transcribed as "arqu9" in the PDF transcript) calls for a brief remark. Given the uncomfortable nature of Faady's situation, I consider it unlikely that he is performing anything as sophisticated or tantalizingly erotic as a "raqs sharqi". The best English equivalent of "ana arqus" would therefore be "I'm hopping about" (not "I'm dancing").

That's cute because in Persian "sakhif" means impolite, offensive or of poor quality; not silly. The meaning is slightly different.

Assalamu'alaikum ...
I really like this lesson, very nice...
