    By the way, you will also find the following words for email:
    البريد الالكتروني
    Pronounced: Albareed Alelektroony
    Literal Translation: The mail the electronic (E-mail)
    But I would say that ايميل is used more in discussions between people and البريد الالكتروني is used in forms or on the internet etc

    Can someone explain the character that represents the "mum" sound in "mumken"? I thought it would be writen like this مم or like this موم??

    The word Mumken is written like مُمكِن so the characters that represent the "mum" sound at the beginning are indeed مُم notice the little و on top of the letter م which basically gives it the mom sound as in the o in order

    Both are fine juanma, (iumkenunee) or( hal yumken) would give the same meaning of (can I?). (Mumken) is less formal and widely used amongst people and it means (I can), but because you say it in certain way, it sound like a question (Can I?), therefore, as I mentioned above, both are fine to be used.
    By the way, your Arabic seems to be very good.
    Well done LOL

    Hello, I am a bit confused because for "can you" I sometimes hear "Tikdar" and sometimes "Takdir" - What is correct ? (or both?)

    Cees

    Both correct, the classical way of saying it is (TAQDER), and any other way is just colloquial.

    Iman9 I think usually they teach everyday spoken Arabic on the podcasts, basically Arabic that can be understood all over the Arab world. There's a more detailed article on the blog about the Arabic being taught here

    Here I can find another good example of a word borrowed from English.

    Not only the podcast, exercise and transcript,but also these comments are really helpful for further understanding. Shukran likom. grin
