| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Hala: When someone asks you a question, you are expected to give a very fulfilling answer |
| Roland: Yes, if your answer is to short ( to the person hearing it ), then you will be asked another question, and another, until it's all clear, same thing will happen to you if you ask a question to anyone, the answer might be too long and detailed for you, with some extra information, that you didn’t ask for |
| Hala: but its Ok, we love to pass the knowledge! |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Roland: Let's have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Roland: The first word we’ll look at is....”آآه, Aahh” |
| Hala: A very informal word, but surprisingly , it can be used also in formal situations, as it means ( Ohh ), its more of a reaction, mostly heard between friends, but if you are talking to someone at work and they are explaining something to you, and you got what they were saying, you say ” Aahh” as I got what you said. but again it mostly used between friends. |
| Roland: and the second word we are going to look at is…. |
| Hala: دقيقة |
| this word means ( a minute ), but its also used ( just a minute, or just a second ) please, you can use it to call someone, just by saying ( a minute please ), we use it also to call people. Even if you don’t the name, you can say “One minute please”, and that get their attention and stop. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Hala: The focus of this lesson is (Possessives , our ) يـِمـْكـِن في فـَصْـلـُهُم "maybe in their class" |
| Roland: to say ( our ), we will add ( na ) at the end of the noun, so by using ( faṣl ) as an example, it will be ( faṣlna ) |
| Hala: a small tip to make your pronunciation easier, add small ( i ) sound before the ( na), so it should be ( faṣlina ), thats what you will hear most people say, and it will be easier for you to say. |
| Roland: and the second grammar point is how to form the possessive third person plural which is “their” |
| Hala: To say ( their ), we will add ( hum ) at the end of the noun, if we used ( فصل, faṣl ), it will be ( فصلهم, faṣlhum ), if you like to apply the small tip we kept using, by adding the ( u ) sound before ( hum ), that might make it easier for you, so it will be ( فَصْلُهُم,faṣluhum ). It is only to make smoother and easier to say. |
| Roland: Please remember, we are still dealing with masculine nouns, not feminine . |
Outro |
| Roland: That just about does it for today. |
| Roland: Before we go, we want to tell you about a way to drastically improve your pronunciation. |
| Hala: The voice recording tool... |
| Roland: Yes, the voice recording tool in the premium learning center... |
| Hala: Record your voice with a click of a button, |
| Roland: and then play it back just as easily. |
| Hala: So you record your voice, and then listen to it. |
| Roland: Compare it to the native speakers... |
| Hala: And adjust your pronunciation! |
| Roland: This will help you improve your pronunciation fast! |
| Hala: شكراً رولاند, مع السلامة |
| Roland: مع السلامة، أشوفكو بعدين |
