Very cute song!Love it!^^
BTW,I wonder what's the difference between شعيد and مبسوطين .Are they interchangeable?

The PDF transcript says "Lower Intermediate".

@tau, the transcripts have been corrected.

@Kurumi, سعيد and مبسوط both mean happy, but the first one is used mostly in classical, and the latter in colloquial.

No offense to either of you, fantastic scholars of Arabic, I am glad that you found your true calling, as I am not seeing a future for you on "Britain's Got Talent." : )

I love anything to do with beautiful chicks, and "If you are single and female..." lol

Great lesson guys, and a very nice song.

If I may, can I ask what the translation is for Mohamed and Ehab's Levantine introduction? I am guessing:

Mohamed: Hello. How are you?
Ehab: ; but is the last word سوري? I was guessing it was something about coming from/being Syrian but I may be way off...

@climacus, glad you like the lesson and the cute song wink

Yes, Ehab asked me "Why are you speaking Syrian?"

ليش بتحكي سوري؟
Leesh bite7ky soory?

well spotted
