Ahlan Ya Shebaab,

401 students:

The quiz will be on Units 2 and 3.

503 students:

The quiz will be on the Mufradat from chapter 8, and on the verb and Musdar conjugation charts on page 130 and page 131.

Quiz

Ahlan Arabic students,

Just to give you the heads up, but I thought that we should start thinking about our first quiz.

Arabic 401:

This quiz will be on Thursday, 9/11. It will be a spelling test which covers Unit One.

Arabic 503:

Your quiz will be on Tuesday, 9/16. It will cover ALL vocab from chapters 1-7. You will be asked to go from Arabic to English as well as from English to Arabic. Vocab only.

Ahlan my Arabic students

Dear 401 & 503 students,

It was nice to see you all yesterday, and I look forward to a fun and exiting year with you .

Last minute help

Ahlan Ya Shebaab,

I'll try to be in my office around 3:00 this afternoon, so as to be available to those that need last minute help with their presentations.

Let's have some fun

Marhaba Ya Shebaab,

I was thinking that perhaps we should go out and have one of our classes next week on the lawn in front or Murklund Hall. We should bring a boom box and blast some Arabic music in the background. Maybe even have a big sign that says :" Learn Arabic" both in Arabic and English, and have an " Arabic Awareness " day. Also, feel free to bring snacks.

Write me emails with thoughts and suggestions as to how you feel about this. Also, give me suggestions if you want that class to be about stuff other than the usual.
