عظيم مرة ثانيةً

Great use of new vocab! I was interested in knowing what word do Arabic students typically use for "class" as in "I am going to class" in my studies I have come across these two words:

صف
and
فصل

I have never seen حصة yet.

Which one is preferred does one have a connotation of Class Room versus the word "course" in English? Like you can physically go to a class room and sit in a class room but you "take a course" instead of "sit in the course"... Confusing, I know!

Also, It'd be neat to see more with numbers like fractions and decimals in future lessons. I still remember your explanations in the message boards many months ago. That was very great!

Finally, I've been listening to lots of Arabic music (mainly pop stuff), and I think it would be neat to talk about the numerous words that appear in Arabic music so much these days.

Like عمري
حبيبي
اٌغلي حبيب
روحي
قلبي
قسمة
نصيب
Etc... those words are so wonderful and express love/soul in more ways than English ever can.

شكرا جزيلا أيضا

Both words (صف) and (فصل) means class room, while (حصة) means the class itself.. I see ur point about the confusion in using course,, basically, course in Arabic means (دورة) which consists of classes,, therefore, you can't say (إجلس في الدورة - Sit in the course ) but you can say (إجلس في الصف - Sit in the class),, same as English ,, is it?
Inshallah we'll cover more classes about numbers,, you might have noticed that APG 1.2 in the Sharepoint can read numbers until 999, inshallah we'll do our best to cover decimal numbers to it too,, also Alsaa3ah in the sharepoint reads numbers in full grammatical compatibility.
About Arabic songs and love words, have you got this lesson: http://www.arabicpod.net/learnarabic/lesson/61/You_are_my_love ?
Hope I covered all your points and made it clear for you.
