(is that spelling right for, "My teachers (dual)")
You have outdone yourself, I have been very busy with work and have not as much time as usual to see how well this site and network has grown! I'm looking forward to subscribing to the premium edition this weekend! Great job again guys, I'm so glad to see this becoming a great success!

يا تومز
We are glad you are back, and wish you to get the best of ArabicPod when you subscribe. The nice thing about learning languages via podcast is that you don't need to dedicate five hours, for instance, to learn the language every week with private tutor, or to travel to a college or private school, all what you need here is to download the mp3 files and learn everywhere you go, in the car, train and even at work . To enhance your Arabic skills, make sure you do the exercises and use the audio transcript that gives you the chance to hear and read at the same time. Also get the most of ArabicPod from the sharepoint where games, videos, tutorials and softwares all are available there, and keep it up with ArabicPod to see it growing more and more.
Regarding to your question about the spelling, yes, it is right how you have written the dual form.
Shokran Tomes for your nice wishes, we wish you the best too.

another great lesson! the arabic that we learn from arabicpod.net
is it Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and is it like the arabic spoken on al Jazeera and other arabic news channels?

la (no), it is not.. Classical Arabic (Fa9ee7ah) that is used in reading the news is the same in all Arabic speaking countries, while the modern Arabic (3ammeyah) could have different words and it is spilt into dialects.
