This is an interesting lesson. I have a quick question though. Are you usually supposed to put a space between لك and اطبخ ? Is it just a colloquialism to put it together, or is it standard?
Thank you.

Good point, in proper Arabic you separate the verb from the (lak لك), so it goes like (أطبخ لك), however, in colloquial Arabic (which is the case here) it works both ways.

I just wanna say, that your program is the best out their that ive ever encountered for learning Arabic, God bless the both of you and keep up the good work, i love that you teach dialects as well as foosa, and i especially love when you do songs,
i do have a suggestion, would it be possible for you guys to translate some more "modern" songs from arab artists such as amr diab, shereen, nancy arjam , etc, because its very easy for me to find their music on itunes , making it easy to get some extra practice in while driving ,jogging ,etc, (spanishpod,s "oye como va" program does song translation as well which has helped me tremendously with spanish) like a said, keep up the good work,

masa al khair ya Ehab,
just to answer your reference to the Italian tomatoes, here we go:
pomodoro = tomato
pomodori = tomatoes
My mouth is watering from the description of this dish, so just in case you have the recipe ready for the qallayet bandourah, u7hebbu an u6bu7' kathiran, so please do not hesitate to post it ))

Shukran Na7la for the answer.

The recipe. mmm, I might know the right person who probably could help in this. Let me try

What I like most about this podcast is the way in which linguistic and cultural information has been combined. A whole series of podcasts might be devoted to culinary specialities. A likely candidate for inclusion in this series would be the Ramadan dessert known as ﻗﻂﺎﻴﻑ (qatayef). “Qatayef” is sometimes translated as “pancake”. It is a kind of sweet crepe filled with unsalted cheese or a mixture of nuts, raisins, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon. It is baked and served with syrup and honey.

how can we say "im invited for dinner at your place today"

You just say:
أنا مدعو لعشاء في بيتك اليوم
Ana mad3oo le3ashaa2 fee baytek alyawm.

This video was off da hook! When I get home, I'm makin' me some fried tomato!
