Franky, this is excellent and way overdue. This is a virtual classroom, only better because the teachers make thorough explanations and one can play the tape ad infinitum.

I do hope that the teachers pay more attention to the advanced level. I made some comments about them and hope that Mohamed and Eihab will consider them.

Keep up the good work!!!

First a question and then possible correction?

First the word for his graduation: تخرجه
Why isn't the pronoun at the end huu rather than just the "h"? Is it just that this is street language?

Second: In the second fill in the blank exercise, the word for frame is written: ضخم
Shouldn't it be: فخم

شكرا جزيلا!!!! for these amazing podcasts!

Another problem: I hear the word i6aar as the second dictation word in the exercises and have answered: اطار but this is marked as incorrect.
What is the correct answer?
(Until I answer correctly, I can't move to the next dictation word :-(

Tango - I agree that the word for frame should have been written the way you say. I also agree that you have written what I hear -- i6aar and that should be correct. Finally, the word for "his graduation" seems written correctly to me, but I am no expert. I think the pronounciation of the huu is slighted in colloquial so it would seem that the guess of street language is correct. There have been some lesson clarifications on this point here but I can't remember where.

@tangozulu and chazyouwin, you are right the exercise has an error. We are in the process of fixing that.
As for (تخرجه) very often the short vowels at the end of the words are replaced with a sokoon (ْ ) so you hear (ta7'arrajuh) not (ta7'arrajuhu or ta7'arrajihi). This is the case in the street and even sometimes in modern standard Arabic that is read in the news. But the proper classical way is to put all the short vowels when required.
