[CD 1] .!"#$ !%& Ahlan wa-sahlan. Welcome to Arabic Guaranteed!' This all-audio program will teach you the basics of spoken Arabic, without a book. Everything you hear will be available in an audioscript, which you can download from our website at www.berlitzpublishing.com. So, are you ready to learn some Arabic? Then lets begin. Lesson One Learning pronunciation is the first step of learning any foreign language. Because learners approaches may vary, you may want to read along with the following pronunciation section in the audioscript. In this chapter, you will learn the Arabic alphabet. We will pay particular attention to the Arabic sounds that do not exist in English. But first, lets listen to the entire alphabet. Arabic has 28 letters. First, you will hear the names of the letters. 3 > 2 = 1 < 0 ; / : . 9 8 B , 7 $ + 6 A * 5 @ ) 4 ? (
Now lets listen to the sounds these letters make. 3 > 2 = 1 < 0 ; / : . 9 8 , 7 $ , 7 $ + 6 A + 6 A * 5 @ * 5 @ ) 4 ? ) 4 ? (
Now listen and repeat. 3 > 2 = 1 < 0 ; / : . 9 8 B (
Some of these sounds were probably unfamiliar to you, because they do not exist in English. These sounds are: 9 (gargle) 8 (thoh) 7 (toh) 6 (doh) 5 (s) . (kh) - (h) < (koh) : (rrr)
Now, lets talk about these sounds one by one. The first sound is h This is pronounced in a similar fashion to the sound "h", but it is accompanied by a friction in the throat. Listen to the sound. h Repeat the sound, paying special attention to your pronunciation. h Now let's look at some words that contain this sound.

[[
To pronounce this sound, you need to constrict your throat muscles, just like for the sound h But the difference between the two is that the 9 aa is voiced, which means you make a deep throaty sound. If you put your hand on your throat while saying this sound, you should feel your muscles contracting. Listen first: 9 aa Now, listen and repeat: 9 aa Now, let's practice this sound in some words: cSOd aarabi Arabic Repeat: cSOd aarabi cSOd aarabi ced aali Ali (a males name) Repeat: ced aali ced aali 9 aa 9 aa 9 aa

Lesson Two In this lesson you will learn how to greet people and introduce yourself. Listen to the following dialogue. Ahmad and Mariam are meeting for the first time. .TUD( cU#( jk HKDON marhaban. ismee Ahmad. .oaON cU#( .HlmOnG jk !%& ahlan. tasharufna. ismee Mariam . .oaON Ha HlmOnG tasharufna yamariam Lets listen to what Ahmad said first. He said, .TUD( cU#( jk HKDON marhaban. ismee Ahmad. Repeat the Arabic. cU#( jk HKDON marhaban. ismee cU#( jk HKDON marhaban. ismee cU#( jk HKDON marhaban. ismee Now try it with your own name. Pretend youre meeting someone for the first time, and introduce yourself. cU#( jk HKDON marhaban. ismee cU#( jk HKDON marhaban. ismee
[7
So, how did Mariam reply when Ahmad introduced himself? She said, Hi, nice to meet you. My name is Mariam. Listen first: oaON cU#( HlmOnG jk !%& ahlan. tasharufna. ismee Mariam . oaON cU#( HlmOnG .! k %& ahlan. tasharufna. ismee Mariam . Now listen to Mariams answer one word at a time, and repeat in the pauses: Hi ! k %& ahlan. !%& ahlan. ! k %& ahlan. Nice to meet you. HlmOnG tasharufna. HlmOnG tasharufna. HlmOnG tasharufna. Now, try the whole sentence, with your name: ... cU#( .HlmOnG jk !%& ahlan. tasharufna. ismee ... cU#( .HlmOnG jk !%& ahlan. tasharufna. ismee ... cU#( .HlmOnG jk !%& ahlan. tasharufna. ismee
[8
Listen to the dialogue again, and see if you can recognize what Ahmad says at the end. .TUD( cU#( jk HKDON marhaban. ismee Ahmad. .oaON cU#( .HlmOnG jk !%& ahlan. tasharufna. ismee Mariam . .oaON Ha HlmOnG tasharufna yamariam So, what did Ahmad say? Listen again: .oaON Ha HlmOnG tasharufna yamariam. He said, Nice to meet you, Mariam. Repeat: .oaON Ha HlmOnG tasharufna yamariam. .oaON Ha HlmOnG tasharufna yamariam. Good! Lets listen to the dialogue one more time. Repeat each line in the pauses and focus on your pronunciation. .TUD( cU#( jk HKDON marhaban. ismee Ahmad. .oaON cU#( .HlmOnG jk !%& ahlan. tasharufna. ismee Mariam . .oaON Ha HlmOnG tasharufna yamariam Good!
[9
Cultural note: One of the most common greetings in the Arab World is . oplPed ?!q\( ah salam aleykem. This phrase literally means Peace be upon you! It functions as hello in many instances. You can use this phrase to address one person or a group of people, in both formal and informal settings. If youre greeted in this way, you are expected to respond, by saying ?!q\( opPed$ wa aleykem ah salam. which also means Peace be upon you. Arabs tend to shake hands when meeting people. For religious reasons, a lot of Arab men do not shake hands with women, and visa versa. If you stretch your hand to shake a womans hand and she pulls back, do not feel offended or take it personally. In Arab culture, family or close friends of the same sex often greet each other with a kiss on the cheek. Unless she is a very close relative, an Arab man would not greet a woman with a kiss.
Lets review some of the new expressions: My name is Mariam. .oaON cU#( ismee Mariam. .oaON cU#( ismee Mariam. .oaON cU#( ismee Mariam.

Lesson Three In this lesson, you will learn how to ask others how they feel and say how you feel. Listen to Ahmad and Mariam in the following dialogue: r>HF\( `Ps kaif al Haal? rEv&$ .t TUF\( jOPua bikhair, al Hamdu lilah, wa anta? .! k Pei @HKwG .t TUF\( al Hamdu lilah, taaaban qalilan. .xyN!# salamtak. .(Opz shukran. Listen to what Ahmad said first. He said, How are you? Repeat: r>HF\( `Ps kaif al Haal? r>HF\( `Ps kaif al Haal? r>HF\( `Ps kaif al Haal? Now try it yourself. Ask your friend how he is doing. r>HF\( `Ps kaif al Haal? How did Mariam reply? She said, I am well, thank God. And you?
rEv&$ .t TUF\( jOPua bikhair, al Hamdu lilah, wa anta? Mariams reply, thanking God, is a very common answer to the question How are you? in Arabic. Lets listen to what Mariam said again. Repeat in the pauses TUF\( al Hamdu TUF\( al Hamdu .t lilah .t lilah Now, say that yourself. t TUF\( al Hamdu lilah Mariam also asked Ahmad how he is doing. She said: And you? Listen and repeat rEv&$ wa anta? rEv&$ wa anta? Now listen to the next part of the dialogue again, and see if you can recognize what Ahmad says next. .! k Pei @HKwG .t TUF\( al Hamdu lilah, taaaban qalilan.
So, what did Ahmad say? He said Thank God as well, then he said Im a little tired. Listen and repeat in the pauses: ! k Pei @HKwG .t TUF\( al Hamdu lilah, taaaban qalilan. Lets listen to just the second phrase: Im a little tired. Repeat: .! k Pei @HKwG taaaban qalilan. .! k Pei @HKwG taaaban qalilan. Now repeat the whole sentence. ! k Pei @HKwG .t TUF\( al Hamdu lilah, taaaban qalilan. ! k Pei @HKwG .t TUF\( al Hamdu lilah, taaaban qalilan. When Mariam heard Ahmad say that he was tired,she responded by saying, Get better. Repeat: xyN!# salamtak xyN!# salamtak And in reply, Ahmad said Thank you. Repeat after Ahmad: ( 'Opz shukran ( 'Opz shukran Now you try. Say Thank you:
24
( 'Opz shukran Great! Now lets listen to the dialogue again. Repeat in the pauses. r>HF\( `Ps kaif al Haal? rEv&$ .t TUF\( jOPua bikhair, al Hamdu lilah, wa anta? .! k Pei @HKwG .t TUF\( al Hamdu lilah, taaaban qalilan. .xyN!# salamtak. .(Opz shukran. Cultural note: In the Arab World, speakers invoke God in many contexts. As you have seen, the response to the question How are you? is often Thank God. This is very similar to an English speaker saying, I am fine, when asked, How are you? Regardless how one actually feels, this phrase is usually appropriate. Besides asking about someones own wellbeing, Arabs also ask about the wellbeing of the family. In responding to such questions, it is expected that the initial response will be positive. Lets review some of the new expressions. r>HF\( `Ps kaif al Haal? r>HF\( `Ps kaif al Haal? r>HF\( `Ps kaif al Haal?
25
And you? rEv&$ wa anta? rEv&$ wa anta? rEv&$ wa anta? Im a little tired. .! k Pei @HKwG taaaban qalilan. .! k Pei @HKwG taaaban qalilan. .! k Pei @HKwG taaaban qalilan. Get better. xyN!# salamtak xyN!# salamtak xyN!# salamtak Thank you. ( 'Opz shukran ( 'Opz shukran ( 'Opz shukran

Lesson Four In this lesson, you will learn how to ask for and give telephone numbers. But before we start, lets learn the numbers from zero to ten. Listen! The speaker will pause after each number for you to repeat. zero siffr siffr one waHid waHid two ithnayn ithnayn three thalaathah thalaathah four arbaaah arbaaah five khamsah khamsah six sittah sittah

' %& ahlan wa sahlan. Repeat again: !"#$ ! ' %& ahlan wa sahlan Ahmad knows Mariam well at this point, so he asks her for her phone number. He asks the question using a rising intonation: rxvWIeG oi1 }pUN momkin raqam telifoonik This means, Can I have you number? Repeat the question after Ahmad rxvWIeG oi1 }pUN momkin raqam telifoonik rxvWIeG oi1 }pUN momkin raqam telifoonik Mariam does not mind. She says of course.
Repeat after Mariam: fK^\HS bittabaa fK^\HS bittabaa fK^\HS bittabaa And she goes on to give him her number.

Pay attention to how gender is inflected in this phrase. The phrase changes depending on whether a male or female is being asked. When Ahmad asked Mariam for her number, he used the word x vWIeG telifoonik but when Mariam asked Ahmad for his number, she said xk vWIeG telifoonak So, if you were asking your male friend for a phone number, what would you say? xk vWIeG telifoonak And if you were asking your female friend? x vWIeG telifoonik Ahmad gives his phone number.

rEv&$ Wa antee? Mariam is also from Jordan, so she responds by saying, .HXa& YPv/1& Hv& anna urduneya aydan I am Jordanian. Repeat after Mariam: .HXa& YPv/1& Hv& anna urduneya aydan .HXa& YPv/1& Hv& anna urduneya aydan But Mariam lives in a different town. She says, TS1 YlaTN cm }p#& clp\ lakinee askun fi madinet Irbid.

YlaTN cm }p#& Hv& Anna askun fi madinet Ahmad is curious about languages, so he asks Mariam How many languages do you speak? r}PUepyG Yh\ os kam lugha tatakalameen? Lets hear the question again slowly. Repeat in the pauses: os kam r}PUepyG Yh\ lugha tatakalameen?
Now repeat the whole phrase. r}PUepyG Yh\ os kam lugha tatakalameen? r}PUepyG Yh\ os kam lugha tatakalameen? Mariam speaks three languages: Arabic, English and French. She answers saying: *Hh\ +!{ oepG& atakallam thalaath lughaat. I speak three languages. Repeat after Mariam, *Hh\ +!{ oepG& atakallam thalaath lughaat. *Hh\ +!{ oepG& atakallam thalaath lughaat. Mariam then mentions the languages she speaks. Repeat: Arabic YPSOw\( al aarabeya YPSOw\( al aarabeya French $YPqvOI\( wal ferenseya $YPqvOI\( wal ferenseya

And English YaJPev~( wal ingeleezeya YaJPev~( wal ingeleezeya Listen to the names of languages again and repeat: YaJPev~($ YPqvOI\($ YPSOw\( al aarabeya, wal ferenseya wal ingeleezeya. YaJPev~($ YPqvOI\($ YPSOw\( al aarabeya, wal ferenseya wal ingeleezeya. Which of these languages do you speak? Try saying I speak English in Arabic: YaJPev~( oepG& Atakallam al ingeleezeya. Mariam asks Ahmad the same question by saying, and you? Ev&$ Wa anta Ahmad does not speak three languages, or even two. He says I speak one language only: Arabic. Listen first: YPSOw\( :_m |TD($ Yh\ oepG& Hv& anna atakallam lugha waHida faqatt. Al aarabeya. Lets hear that phrase more slowly.

Only: Arabic YPSOw\( :_m faqatt. Al aarabeya. Listen again and repeat after Ahmad. YPSOw\( :_m |TD($ Yh\ oepG& Hv& anna atakallam lugha waHida faqatt. Al aarabeya. Excellent! You may have noticed in the dialogue that the numbers [ and 2 follow the noun in Arabic. However, numbers 3-[0 precede nouns, just like in English. Lets try that. Repeat the Arabic for the following phrases: One language |TD($ Yh\ lugha waHida Two languages @Hyh\ lugha taan Three languages *Hh\ +!{ thalaath lughaat.

He says roaON Ha }PeUwG (0HN maaza taamaleen ya Mariam? Listen to the question again, and repeat in the pause. roaON Ha }PeUwG (0HN maaza taamaleen ya Mariam? It is common to use the name of the person youre addressing when asking a question in Arabic. Now imagine that you are asking the same question to a female relative or friend. What would you say?
roaON Ha }PeUwG (0HN maaza taamaleen ya Mariam? Mariam is a pediatrician. Responding to Ahmads question, she says, literally, I am a doctor of children. Repeat: >HI]& YKPK] Hv& anna tabeebat atfaal. >HI]& YKPK] Hv& anna tabeebat atfaal. Next, Ahmad asks Mariam Where do you work? r}PeUwG }a&$ wa ayna taamaleen?

She does that indirectly by saying And what about you, Ahmad? rTUD& Ha xld (0HN$ Wa maza aanka ya Ahmad? Listen again and repeat: rTUD& Ha xld (0HN$ Wa maza aanka ya Ahmad? rTUD& Ha xld (0HN$ Wa maza aanka ya Ahmad?
rTUD& Ha xld (0HN$ Wa maza aanka ya Ahmad? Ahmad is a school teacher. He responds by saying 0Hy#& Hv& anna ustaaz I am a teacher. Listen again and repeat: 0Hy#& Hv& anna ustaaz 0Hy#& Hv& anna ustaaz Mariam then asks Ahmad what he teaches. Listen to her question: r31TG (0HN maza tuddarris? What do you teach? Listen to the question again and repeat: r31TG (0HN maza tuddarris? Now you try. Ask the question to a male friend. r31TG (0HN maza tuddarris? r31TG (0HN maza tuddarris? Ahmad tells Mariam what he teaches ".YPSOw\( Yhe\( 31/&" oddarris al lugha al aarabeyah He says: I teach Arabic. Listen again and repeat.

".YPSOw\( Yhe\( 31/&" oddarris al lugha al aarabeyah ".YPSOw\( Yhe\( 31/&" oddarris al lugha al aarabeyah Good! Lets listen to the dialogue one more time. Repeat each line in the pauses and focus on your pronunciation. roaON Ha }PeUwG (0HN maaza taamaleen ya Mariam? .>HI]& YKPK] Hv& anna tabeebat atfaal. r}PeUwG }a&$ wa ayna taamaleen? rTUD& Ha x k ld (0HN$ .?Hd InyqN cm Ud& aamal fi mostashfa aam.

To make any of these words feminine, you need to add the suffix uh. So, for the word teacher: 0Hy#( ustaaz The feminine version is: A0Hy#& ustaazah
5[
What about secretary? The masculine version is: OPGOp# secertair So whats the feminine version? |OPGOpz secretairah What about engineer: 3Tl"N mohandess It becomes: Y#Tl"N mohandessa Good! Cultural note: It is perfectly acceptable for Arabs to ask questions about others salaries. But, even though its okay to ask, people may or may not choose to answer the question. If they do not feel comfortable answering, they answer indirectly, by saying something like: enough. cIpa HN Ma yakfee. Lets review some of the new expressions. What do you do for a living? r}PeUwG (0HN maaza taamaleen? r}PeUwG (0HN maaza taamaleen? r}PeUwG (0HN maaza taamaleen? Where do you work? r}PeUwG }a&$ wa ayna taamaleen?

Lesson Seven In this lesson, you will learn how to talk about your family. Listen to Ahmad and Mariam talk about their families: rYeHw\( fN }PlpqG % hal taskuneen maah al aaillah? .cyeHd fN }p#& Hv& owv naaam, anna askun maaah aailaty. r|WL x\ % hal laky ekhwah? r|WL +!{ c\ lee thalaath ekhwah. r*(WL&$ wa ikhwaat? rk Ev&$ ._m |TD($ EL& c\ lee okht waHidah faqqat.

Wa maza aanky? .YeHw\( cm OKs( Hv& anna al akbar fil aailah. Ahmad starts by asking Mariam Do you live with your family?: rYeHw\( fN }PlpqG % hal taskuneen maah al aaillah? Lets listen to this phrase slowly and repeat in the pauses:
Do % hal % hal you live }PlpqG taskuneen }PlpqG taskuneen with the family YeHw\( fN maah al aaillah? YeHw\( fN maah al aaillah? Now repeat the whole question again: rYeHw\( fN }PlpqG % hal taskuneen maah al aaillah? rYeHw\( fN }PlpqG % hal taskuneen maah al aaillah? Remember that this question is directed to a female. If the question were addressed to a male, it would be rYeHw\( fN }pqG % hal taskun maah al aaillah? Repeat: rYeHw\( fN }pqG % hal taskun maah al aaillah? rYeHw\( fN }pqG % hal taskun maah al aaillah?
56
Like the majority of Arab young adults, Mariam does live with her family. Her response is: .cyeHd fN }p#( Hv& .owv naaam, anna askun maaah aailaty Yes, I live with my family. Listen again and repeat: Yes .owv naaam I Hv& anna live }p#( askun with my family .cyeHd fN maaah aailaty Listen once more, and repeat: .cyeHd fN }p#( Hv& .owv naaam, anna askun maaah aailaty To say, no, you would need to insert the negation particle ~ la before the verb }p#& askun.
57
Ahmad asks Mariam about her siblings. First he asks if she has brothers. His question is: r|WL x\ % hal laky ekhwah? Listen to the question one more time, and repeat: r|WL x\ % hal laky ekhwah? Mariam has three brothers. Listen to her reply, and see if you can recognize the number three. .|WL +!{ c\ lee thalaath ekhwah Listen to Mariams reply again and repeat .|WL +!{ c\ lee thalaath ekhwah .|WL +!{ c\ lee thalaath ekhwah If you were asked this question, how would you respond? Remember that the numbers [ and 2 follow the nouns while the remaining numbers precede them. .|WL c\ lee ekhwah Then Ahmad asks if Mariam has sisters. He says: and sisters? Listen carefully to Ahmads question: r*(WL&$ wa ikhwaat? Listen to the question again, and repeat: r*(WL&$ wa ikhwaat? r*(WL&$ wa ikhwaat?
58
Notice that Ahmad used a rising intonation to indicate the interrogative. Mariam does have sisters too. She answers: rEv&$ ._m |TD($ EL& c\ lee okht waHidah faqqat. Wa anta? I have one sister only, and you? Lets listen to her answer slowly. c\ Lee |TD($ EL& okht waHidah ._m faqqat. rk Ev&$ Wa anta? Listen again, and repeat: rEv&$ ._m |TD($ EL& c\ lee okht waHidah faqqat. Wa anta? rEv&$ ._m |TD($ EL& c\ lee okht waHidah faqqat. Wa anta? Now lets listen to Ahmads reply. .|WL c\ P\ }p\ |TD($ EL& c\ xeN Hv& anna mitlik lee okht waHida lakin laysa lee ekhwah. Now lets break his answer down. Repeat in the pauses: I am like you: .xeN Hv& anna mitlik
59
I have one sister: |TD($ EL& c\ lee okht waHida But I do not have brothers |WL c\ P\ }p\ lakin laysa lee ekhwah Listen again and repeat: .|WL c\ P\ }p\ |TD($ EL& c\ xeN Hv& anna mitlik lee okht waHida lakin laysa lee ekhwah. .|WL c\ P\ }p\ |TD($ EL& c\ xeN Hv& anna mitlik lee okht waHida lakin laysa lee ekhwah. Next, Mariam asks Ahmad whether his sister is older or younger. She asks: rxlN OhV& $( OKs& c% % hal heya akbar aw asghar menka? Is she older or younger than you? Listen again and repeat: rxlN OhV& $( OKs& c% % hal heya akbar aw asghar menka? rxlN OhV& $( OKs& c% % hal heya akbar aw asghar menka? Listen to this phrase slowly, and repeat in the pauses: OKs& c% % hal heya akbar OhV& $& aw asghar
60
rxlN menka? Now try to repeat the whole phrase: rxlN OhV& $( OKs& c% % hal heya akbar aw asghar menka? Ahmads sister is younger, so Ahmad replies .clN OhV& c% heya asghar menny She is younger than I am. Repeat: .clN OhV& c% heya asghar menny .clN OhV& c% heya asghar menny .clN OhV& c% heya asghar menny. Now, Ahmad asks Mariam the same question. He does this simply by following his statement with and you? rxld (0HN$ Wa maza aanky? Listen again and repeat: rxld (0HN$ Wa maza aanky? Mariam is the oldest in her family. She replies .YeHw\( cm OKs( Hv& anna al akbar fil aailah. I am oldest in the family. Listen to the answer slowly, and repeat: OKs( Hv& anna al akbar
6[
YeHw\( cm fil aailah. Now listen to the whole phrase, and repeat again: .YeHw\( cm OKs( Hv& anna al akbar fil aailah How about you? Are you the oldest or the youngest? For the oldest we used the word OKs( al akbar for the youngest, you would say OhV( al asghar Repeat: OhV( al asghar OhV( al asghar So, are you the oldest or the youngest? Say it in Arabic! Now lets listen to the dialogue again. rYeHw\( fN }PlpqG % hal taskuneen maah al aaillah? .cyeHd fN }p#& Hv& owv naaam, anna askun maaah aailaty. r|WL x\ % hal laky ekhwah? r|WL +!{ c\ lee thalaath ekhwah.

Wa maza aanky? .YeHw\( cm OKs( Hv& anna al akbar fil aailah. Cultural note: Arab children most often stay and live with their families even if they are older than eighteen. It is rare to see a young boy or girl living apart from the family. Children leave their households when they get married, or go abroad to study. Many, however, live with their families even after they get married, for economic and social reasons. Lets review some of the new expressions. Do % hal % hal % hal

Repeat the phrase again: r}U\( os .~ la, kam al thaman? r}U\( os .~ la, kam al thaman? The currency in Jordan is the dinar, and the piaster is [/[00 of a dinar, like a cent.

rOPL Khair? Ahmad asks Mariam if she would like to go out for a cup of coffee. He asks: r|W"\( )On\ ,$Ou\( }aTaOG % hal toreedeen al khrouj leshorb al qahwa? Do you want to go out for a cup of coffee? We learned earlier that you can use intonation to ask a question. Now we will learn another way. The word % hal is used to ask yes or no questions. This word is always used in the beginning of the question. Listen to Ahmads question again, and pay attention to this question word. r|W"\( )On\ ,$Ou\( }aTaOG % hal toreedeen al khrouj leshorb al qahwa?

It's break time for Ahmad, so he goes to a fast food vendor to have a drink and a bite to eat. Listen to his conversation with the vendor. rYNTL }N % hal min khidmah? xeXm }N m!m *HKD UL Ta1& oreed khamas Habaat falafel min fadlik.

Opz `\& alf shokr. First, the vendor asks Ahmad: Can I help you? rYNTL }N % hal min khidmah? This is another phrase that you probably wont have to say in Arabic, but you will certainly hear. Listen again: rYNTL }N % hal mi khidmah? You can ask this question the same way to both males and females. Ahmad likes to eat falafel. He asks politely for five pieces. Listen to what he says: .xeXm }N m!m *HKD UL Ta1& oreed khams Habaat falafel min fadlik. I want five pieces of falafel please.
Listen while Ahmad repeats his order. Repeat in the pauses: I want Ta1& oreed Five UL khams pieces *HKD Habaat falafel m!m falafel please xeXm }N min fadlik. . As you can see, you can use the phrase I want please. xeXm }N ... Ta1& oreed . min fadlak to order or ask for anything. Lets practice! Do you remember the word for coat? `^wN miaatuf Okay, now say, I want a coat please. .xeXm }N `^wN Ta1& oreed miaatuf min fadlak. Great! Say that again. .xeXm }N `^wN Ta1& oreed miaatuf min fadlak.

Of course, falafel comes with bread, so the vendor asks Ahmad rOKL$ wa khobz? And bread? You know that wameans and, so now you know the word for bread too. Repeat: OKL khobz Can you say the whole phrase yourself now? And bread? JKL$ wa khobz? JKL$ wa khobz? Certainly, Ahmad needs bread. He asks for two loaves, which in this case, means two pieces of pita bread. He says @HIPg1 ragheefan. Two loaves. Listen and repeat @HIPg1 ragheefan @HIPg1 ragheefan The vendor asks if Ahmad wants something else.
You heard this earlier in the program. Listen, and see if you remember the phrase: rOL cz B& ay shay aakhar? Now listen again, and repeat after the vendor: rOL cz B& ay shay aakhar? rOL cz B& ay shay aakhar? Ahmad wants some soda. He asks for three bottles for himself and his coworkers. He says .~Ws *HH2 Y{!{ thalaathat zojajaat cola. Three bottles of cola. Listen again, and see if you can recognize the number three. .~Ws *HH2 Y{!{ thalaathat zojajaat cola. Did you notice it?

So how would you ask for five bottles of cola? .~Ws *HH2 YqUL khamsat zojajaat cola
.~Ws *HH2 YqUL khamsat zojajaat cola The vendor hands Ahmad his order and tells him the total. Listen and see if you can understand the price. .HzOi @WvHU{$ Y{!{ .XIG Tafadal. thalaatha wa tamaneen qirshan. Did you get it? Listen again to just the price: .HzOi @WvHU{$ Y{!{ thalaatha wa thamaneen qirshan She said; "Here you go. Eighty three piasters." Listen again and repeat the price: .HzOi @WvHU{$ Y{!{ thalaata wa thamaneen qirshan .HzOi @WvHU{$ Y{!{ thalaata wa thamaneen qirshan Ahmad hands the money to the vendor and says here you go, using the same word as the vendor used before. Repeat: .ceXIG tafadally .ceXIG tafadally Listen to the vendor as she thanks Ahmad. She says .Opz `\& alf shokr This literally means, one thousand thanks. Listen and repeat .Opz `\& alf shokr .Opz `\& alf shokr

Cultural note: Arab Food Arab cuisine reflects the rich and diverse cultures and long history of the Arab World. Besides regional cuisines, it incorporates contributions from Turkish, Greek and indigenous cultures.While bread is part of most meals in the Levant and Egypt, rice is a staple in the Gulf region. In North Africa, Couscous is an important dish. Some of the most common dishes in Arab cuisine are tabbouleh, hummus, kebab and vegetable stews, such as green beans cooked with beef or lamb. You will not find pork in Arabic states, as it is forbidden for Muslims to eat pork. Arabs are hospitable people, who serve a great amount of food for guests. If you are invited to a friends house for a meal, keep in mind that you will be
offered second and third servings of food, and that guests are expected to accept at least once. Lets review some of the new expressions.

First listen to Ahmad and repeat: He\( \( illal liqaa He\( \( illal liqaa Now, listen to Mariam say Go with safety and repeat: .YN!q\( fN maaah assalamah. .YN!q\( fN maaah assalamah.

Repeat: (Tg =(1& arah kee radan (Tg =(1& anarah kee rad A very common answer to that would be God willing. Repeat: t( Hz @ inshah allah
[94
t( Hz @ inshah allah Maybe youre going on a trip, or you will be away for a long time. You might want to say: xqIlS clyd( ah tenee binafsikee This means, Take care of yourself. Repeat: xqIlS clyd( ah tenee binafsikee xqIlS clyd( ah tenee binafsikee And your friend might reply: .xU"a ~$ walah ya homuka Dont worry! Repeat: .xU"a ~$ walah ya homuka .xU"a ~$ walah ya homuka
