    Hi all
    I have here a great partner Wasim and students full with enuthasim. Also I have Mark who wants to help and thanks to him.
    I'll not going to post you new arabic lesson today but I have some advices to you from my experence in learning new languages:
    1- Be brave. don't give up easly. engoy every thing you learn. and think that is your first step in 1000 mile journy.

    2-Take your time. It's good to learn all letters once but if you cann't don't worry take your time. it is also good to learn 3 or 4 letters a week try to learn how you can pronounciate them and when you find arabic words try to point to the letters you know and be happy for your success. If you foun words you know all its letters try to read it ,write it, ask about its meaning.

    3- If you attend arabic mass or tasbeha try to note the words whitch is repeated manytimes and ask about its meaning.

    4-Finally,The most difficult thing in learning any thing is the beganing. when you pass the beganing point everything will be easier.

    thank you for your help and interest
    injoy your learning
    and
    pray for me a lot

  • wfhanna1wfhanna1
    hey guys as ASM was saying do you all want to decide on a time to meet on like msn or something and we all talk about the arabic stuff because people get tired from refreshing every 3 mins i know the time difference issue but for me nights are the best times
    so lets figure out a plan and see :)
  • egyprincessegyprincess
    i think that would be hard considering the fact that most of us r on different time zones
  • wfhanna1wfhanna1
    whatever floats the boat
    just let me know guys :D
  • Unknown

    And by the way...I would really like to learn coptic, hope any one can help ;)
  • wfhanna1wfhanna1
    sure SisterInChrist and Marianne87 feel free to jump in and help ANY time you feel like
    hey girls you think we should start with the
    ÊÔßíá

    taskheel (i guess that is how you spell it in arabic!!)
  • Unknown
    are u serious?u wanna teach them tashkil..I don't even know it myself ;)...jk
    It's hard ;D
  • wfhanna1wfhanna1
    laa laa it is not that hard you never know i might be a good teacher ;)
    by the way matt95 want to teach coptic
  • Unknown
    personally, I think if u teach the taskheel along with the letters and stuff it would be easier than trying to "change" all that they learned without it ( I hope that I'm making sense), cuz that's how I learned it, so I duno :-\. but I'm sure wat ever it is that u do, it will be good cuz ur a good teacher :)( I think arabic is one of the hardest languages to teach)
  • wfhanna1wfhanna1
    ok guys we got 4 tashkeel thingy who wants to help out with them
    or do you guys want some more time with the letters or what do you want i am flexiable
  • Unknown
    What's taskheel? And in my opinion, the letters are the easiest part.
  • wfhanna1wfhanna1
    tashkeel are symbols you put in top or under the letters and make them sound different so the same letters could mean different things if the tashkeel is on it
    haha now we start the fun stuff don't we :D
  • Unknown
    Lol, I thought that if I understood the letters, everything else would be easy. Oh well. By the way, for all the letters, aren't there two ways to write them, capitalized and lower case? Are the ones that Mark typed lower case or capitalized?

    LordHaveMercy
  • wfhanna1wfhanna1
    that is the fun of arabic there is not capital or lower case :D
    but there are a lot more rules though ;D
  • Unknown
    Oh, ok. I think it would be fun to start learning the taskheel now, if the other students want to learn it too, that is.
  • wfhanna1wfhanna1
    guys sad news :-X i tried typing the tashkeel on here but it won't let me do it
    i guess we can jump the taskheel and i can do the tashkeel on like msn because i know arabic works there and if you don't have msn you can get it for free.
    sorry guys i wish i could have done it on here
    if anyone can do the tashkeel on here let me know :-\
  • Unknown
    Oh. It's ok, what does taskheel look like? I might be able to do it.
  • wfhanna1wfhanna1
    it is either a dash over the letter or a dash under the letter or a small wow over the letter or a small seen over the letter
    if you can do those let me know thanks
    i guess i just defined tashkeel no need to draw them is there?
  • Unknown
    I think I got it, but I'm not sure:

    Æ Ä
  • wfhanna1wfhanna1
    nice try but what i am talking about are superscripts over the letters what you wrote are letters which we might get to them later
    but hey at least you are trying (thumbs up)
  • Unknown
    Oh, this isn't going to be easy...
  • wfhanna1wfhanna1
    we will get it anybody got anything to do till 2 years from now ;D
  • Unknown
    Lol.
  • wfhanna1wfhanna1
    i guess we might have to skip tashkeel and skip to how to construct a sentence
    now the juicy stuff right guys?? :D
  • Unknown
    Right.
  • deedydeedy
    Instead of teaching arabic , teach our coptic language if you know it, leave arabic to the arabs
