| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Roland: Hala, Can you tell us about the school system in Egypt? are there state schools and private schools? and the difference in student number in the two difference schools? |
| Hala: First, in state school the student number on each class could reach 60. It is between 45 to 60. |
| Roland: Wow, That is lots. |
| Hala: In private schools, it is between 20 to 30 or 35 maximum, depends on how good and expensive the school is. |
| Roland: So, the more expensive schools have a few students. |
| Hala: Yes, better education and more languages. |
| Roland: It is the same in England, the split between the state school and the private school is very much like that, but you don’t need to worry about your Arabic classes there were always be a few number in your Arabic classes, because a very few people study it, so will be lucky to get one tutor for probably 5 or 6 people. That is my experience, I always had a very small number of people in my class, it means you will learn faster. which helpful because Arabic is difficult and you need to practice it. and more quality time is possible. |
| Hala: Arabic is not difficult, but we gonna leave this to another discussion. |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Roland: Let's have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Hala: The first word/phrase we’ll look at is تقريباً (taqriīban) which means “almost” or “nearly”. this may seem as a simple word, but you will be surprised how important and common it is, people would use it saying “I am nearly there” or “ I am almost finished” and also to express weather to like something or not, and you are not quite sure about it. We say تقريباً (taqriīban). we have a strange habit, we do not read the clock as we see.we run the number to the nearest five, we would say it is nearly 1:30, that will be automatically recognized as it is less than that, but we run it up. |
| Roland: and the next phrase is الحمد للله مية المية “al-ḥamdu lillah miyyah al-miyyah” |
| Hala: as we know “al-ḥamdu lillah” means “Thank god”, and “miyyah al-miyyah” 100% which means perfect. It is very common to use both, when someone asks you “How are you doing”, you say الحمد للله مية المية “al-ḥamdu lillah miyyah al-miyyah”, and after that you can take “miyyah al-miyyah” and use it,,, |
| Roland: for anything if someone asks you “How are you doing”, you can say مية المية “miyyah al-miyyah”, |
| Hala: Do you like this book? Do you think it is good? |
| Roland: It is مية المية “miyyah al-miyyah”, it is great. |
| Hala: exactly, that goes for movies, and on and on. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Hala: In this lesson, we are going to learn how to form numbers, 11 to 15 in a very easy way |
| Roland, can you tell us what is 11 and twelve? |
| Roland: حِداشَر (ḥidāšar) إتْناشَر (ʾitnāšar) |
| Hala: In most languages these two numbers are always different from the you others, they have a different form. The same in Arabic, so we have حِداشَر (ḥidāšar) إتْناشَر (ʾitnāšar) you will need to memorize this, starting 15 until you reach 19, it is very easy as long as you remember 3 to 9, so we have ثَلاثَة (ṯalāṯah) which means 3, we will add the sound “tašar” in the end it will be تَلاتاشَر (talātāšar) we will do the same أَرْبَع (ʾarbaʿa) أَرْبَعتاشَر (ʾarbaʿtāšar), خَمْسَة (ḫamsah) خَمِستاشَر (ḫamistāšar), remember the sound “tašar” added to the end of the word. |
| Roland: and the next point is فَاكِر (faākir) |
| Hala: Another extremely important participle, which means *remember*. |
| As we remember participles come in three forms only, masculine, feminine and plural. To form the feminine form we will add the sound *ah* and the plural form, and to form the plural we will add the sound “in” so فَاكِر (faākir) فَاكِرَة (faākirah) فَاكِرين (faākirin). |
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: مع ألف سلامة |
| Roland: مع السلامة، أشوفكو بعدين |
