Speak Arabic Class on Sunday 26-02-2017

Assalaamu Alaykum Students  (اَلسَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ، يَا أَيُّهَا الطُّلاب)

We had a lovely session on Sunday.  Class was well attended, although a few students excused themselves, due to personal commitments or being out of town.

We covered Lesson 4  [اُكْتُبْ: Write!].
The Command Patterns:   فَعَلَ - يَفْعَلٌ - اِفْعَلْ (pp. 1-2) and  فَعَلَ - يَفْعُلُ - اُفْعُلْ (pp. 8-9) were explained and drilled.
Students could soon form the Past Tense and Present Tense of all verbs covered in Lesson One and Four.

We also did an exercise (test?) in class based on pp. 1 - 4 of the notes (see below: http://rihla-tu-tulab.blogspot.co.za/2017/02/speak-arabic-today-notes.html) . 
One new student joined the class and said he had no problem following the lesson, in fact he said:  "I enjoyed it very much!" - He even managed to complete the exercise!

For those who missed class:
   Please revise Lessons One to Four pp. 1 - 9.

HOMEWORK:  Study 4.5;
                           Do exercise: 4.6

ADDITIONAL VOCABULARY:

First 100 Words & Sentences

Lesson One

Here are the first 100 words and sentences. Students should attempt to memorize these within the first few weeks of studying. The grammatical structures will be explained in class. The main focus however will be SPEAKING. Lots of drilling will therefore take place in class. 

I'm am in the process of preparing the Video and Audio CDs, so that students can in future use them for self-study purposes. It is however still recommended to join a class or a study group to practise all the structures one has learnt.
