In this podcast we present to you a typical mother/son dialogue in which the son is on his way to the local shop and kindly offers his mum if she needs anything (of course he has other motives in mind), he hopes that she'll offer him the money he needs, she conveniently directs him to his father's pocket! Learn how to say all of this in Arabic along with learning how to look out for what's best for YOUR pocket!

For some reason I can't listen to this lesson. It sounds like the beginning with the song (coming fine) but then I can hear voices mixed in with it (yours)...

Ahlan Nur;
You might have played two lessons in the same time, and when the lessons have loaded up they mixed,, try again and I'm sure it would be fine.

Please help

Salam alaikum,
Another nice lesson, thank you.
How do you say purse/wallet in Arabic. I would like to know how to say "bring me my purse".
Jazakallahu khair!

I am new to the podcast but not arabic and i think it would be an interesting point to alert the speakers with words that have the same spelling but have different short vowels. an example from this lesson would be jayeb and jeeb; pockets and to get respectively

Ahlan wa sahlan Mujtahida and joe Kingston;
Mujtahisa, if some one took your purse then you can say: أعد لي حقيبتي or أعد لي جزداني
Notice that purse means 7aqeebah or jozdan, but wallet means محفظة me7fa6’ah
joe Kingston, very nice suggestions, we will look on such cases and highlight it in our lessons in the future inshallah,, nice to read from you (by the way, it is Ahlan wa Sahlan).
Shokran both
Salam
