Rubbing elbows with celeberties

Ahlan,

Above is a photo of my family with Matt Greoning, the creator of the Simpsons. My family is in the middle, Mr. Groening is on the left, and Diana Pokorny, who is a movie producer and my sister in law, is standing on the right. This was taken at his office in LA, shortly before the launching of "Futurerama"

Class today

Ahlan my students in Arabic 402.

The storm is quite bad over here, and I assume that weather conditions are similar where you are. I'm sorry to say, that at this point I'm unable to make a decision as to whether I should cancel class or not. I would like to wait and see how it looks at the time that I'm planning to leave my house. So kindly check this website again around 2:30 this afternoon. If there is no announcement, this means that I've decided to tough it out, and sacrifice myself for you :)

No classes today,Tuesday February 16

Dear students,

The weather forecast is calling for a severe winter storm for today, and hazardous driving conditions. Therefore, I'm canceling classes today. Let's also postpone our exams till next Tuesday. Please use today to review, and catch up on what you need to. Go over your vocabulary, not just the most recent ones, but previous ones, and study as though you were still having the exam on Thursday. That way, you can ask me if you have questions.

Enjoy the snow :) انا لا احب الثلج

Let's have a quiz, shall we?

اعزائي الطلاب

Arabic 402 should have a quiz on the new vocabulary from Chapter 3, this Thursday February 18.

Arabic 504 should have a quiz on the grammar sections of chapter 11. Those are: المضارع المرفوع/المضارع المنصوب . Study Tamreen 8, page 191. The other section is جملة الصفة. Study Tamreen 12 for that. Lastly, Quantifiers. You will be asked to translate sentences using the right quantifiers. We will work on this a bit more in class on Tuesday. This quiz will be on Thursday, February 18.
