Lower Intermediate - Letter from granddad
February 22nd, 2008 4 comments
In this podcast we go through an extract from a letter that was written by a granddad to his grandsons (you may just know one of them!). It's a nice, short piece, full of typical traits you find in a letter of this kind and standard features you will need to learn when writing a letter in Arabic, whether it be to a family member, a friend or something slightly more formal.

1st question: In regard to the final greeting formula in your grand dad's letter
ΝΘνΘ Εαμ ΝΘνΘ
what would the formula be if I (male) wrote to my girlfriend, or if a female person wrote to either a male, or a female person?

2nd question: I think to have seen that the transcriptions of a word seems to vary between lessons at times. As far as this concerns the short vowels, it is not really important. But the dupplication of consonants should always stay the same, even in a different context, at least at my present level of knowledge?

I am a beginner, but all your lessons are great.
