Another great one. I think that family is very difficult in Arabic due to the very familial nature of the society. Similar to Chinese... they have a distinct word for maternal/paternal relatives! Hard to remember. Perhaps a list of all those words like grandson, nephew, cousin, uncle etc. will be great when you guys have time!

Shukran!
P.S. London was great!

Hi Tomes, Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Initially it can be hard to remember all the family names, for example 3am for uncle (from the dad’s side) and 7’al for uncle (from the mum’s side) but there are advantages in that you will know exactly which side of the family they’re from. I will try to produce a doc with all the names and post it in the forums.

Keep it up!
