    This podcast has given me a new idea. Arabic nouns are sometimes formed by reduplication. Examples: ﺒﻠﺒﻞ (nightingale), ﻓﻠﻓﻞ (pepper), ﻫﺪﻫﺪ (hoopoe), ﻜﺴﻜﺲ (couscous), ﻤﺸﻤﺶ (apricot), ﺸﺒﺸﺐ (slipper), ﺻﺮﺻﻮﺮ (cricket), ﻮﻄﻮﺍﻄ (bat). These words could be presented in a text consisting of sentences such as the following: “While the nightingale sang and the cricket chirped, Mustafa ate couscous, his wife ate an apricot, and the puppy (ﺠﺮﻮwink ate Mustafa’s slippers.”

    The text could fulfil three functions:

    (1) It could be used for revision purposes. The word ﺒﻠﺒﻞ, for instance, has already been introduced in the podcast entitled “How often you complain”. So has the verb ﺘﺮﻨﻢ (sing)

    (2) It could be used to introduce new words such as ﻮﻄﻮﺍﻄ. The comic effects produced by these nouns would facilitate the acquisition process.

    (3) Each sentence could be presented in two versions with verbs in the past and present tenses. This would help learners to get used to the Arabic conjugation system.

    Ayyyyy!!!! This lesson hurt my head, lol. But I thought it was important to learn, and especially to be able to differentiate between matbakh, tawbatna, and tabkhitna...BECAUSE they do sound a bit similar smile

    مرحبا, الشيء الوحيد لم تشرح هو الكلمة "صراحة". أي
    نوع من الكلمات هي؟ لماذا هي أنثى؟

    Arabic83, the word (صراحة) means (honesty) literally and yes it is a feminine word.
