Dear Students,

On Sunday 24th We learned about :

1) Shadda as a symbol written above a letter to show that the letter has been doubled and therefore sounds stronger.

2) Gender in Arabic is Masculine or Féminine مذكر ومؤنث ( with liste)

3) Adjectives الصفات (with List)

In Chaa Allah will review everything this coming Sunday and please feel free to send me an email or call me if you need any help.

Dear Students,

Soo sorry if the last lesson was little hard for some of you but don’t worry we’ll work more on it this coming Sunday Inshaa Allah  Allah😉

Little review to all of you :

On February the 24 we learned  about Demonstrative pronouns in Arabic اسماء الاشاره

Arabic has many more demonstrative than English due to masculine and feminine differentiation and due to the dual case 

So in Arabic  we find 10 demonstrative p. Compare to only 4 in English :

1) demonstrative pronouns (near) اسماء الاشاره للقريب 

هذا : haatha for the masculine singular ;

هذه : hathihi for Feminine singular ;

هذان : hathani for masculine Dual

هاتان : hatani for feminine dual ;

هؤلاء : haolae for masculine and feminine plural

2) Demonstrative pronouns (distant) اسماء الاشاره للبعيد :

👉To be continued next week unshaven Allah

- My dictionary we learned 4 new words in Arabic

مفرد / مثنى جمع

عاقل / غير عاقل 

قريب / بعيد

Please feel free to call me or send an email if you need any help.

Thank you

Adult English Class

Good morning, everyone! 

On Sunday, February 17, we reviewed the simple past and past progressive verb tenses. The exercises we reviewed were on pages 22-26 of your grammar book.  

Your writing assignment this week is to use these tenses as you write your essays on a type of food that is meaningful to you. What is your story behind this type of food? What cultural importance does this food hold for you?

Some ideas to get started can be found in two recent news stories.  Check out this story on the BBC News about Rohinga and Uighur cuisine at

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3cswpnv

and Palestinian food at

https://www.npr.org/2019/02/12/693799129/zaitoun-recipes-from-the-palestinian-kitchen

I hope these stories give you some good ideas for your essays.

See you all on Sunday, Feb. 24!

Take care,

Lee
