Oh,
it's still here. There you go.
K.
Look at y'all translating
texts.
Oh my gosh. I feel like the the
chicken that's looking at the little chicks, like,
grow with the little lamb. You know?
Oh my gosh. So exciting.
And because of the rope was
how
the goose
was attuned
to he.
Oh, and that's that's she liked.
Nice. Nice.
She loved to swim and she loved what?
Listen to music. Singing. Yeah. Look at you.
Hey. There we go. Good job.
Alright. How did everyone feel they did?
Collectively got it. Yeah. We get that. Collectively,
you got it. And that's why we wanna
start that that language lab in the future.
Right? That gives you,
like, this application
component. Right? The other thing that we're working
on is we're producing a series of films,
hopefully,
with an Arabic speaker that, like, takes you
to Costco.
So we, like, film it professionally.
Like, I'm in Costco. And And then she
uses, like, the words that we're using, but,
like, at Costco,
in the context of Costco,
in the context of the park. So you
actually see
the language.
We gotta work on
it. Beautiful. We we need we need another
1,000 subscribers.
We can't afford to do it. Let's
get it.
Let's do it. So
what does that mean?
Right here. What does this mean?
The goosebond is goose.
The goose was
Living near the water.
Good. Living near the water. Living near the
pond or the lake.
Nice.
Who
can translate this part for us? And the
goose was very lazy.
Yeah. Super lazy.
Right?
How do you translate this?
Because of that.
Because of that. Right?
The goose was
to
him Walrina. She
was loving goose like swaddling. And
And
singing. Yeah. Singing. Or singing. Right?
Now
means because of that. What is that? And
this is where we're gonna start to push
you a little in the future.
Not only ask you to read and understand
the vocabulary, but ask you your comprehension.
Well,
and because of that what's that? What is
that? What is that referring to?
A laziness?
Exactly. Her laziness.
Yeah. So if you're if you as you
become more fluent in Arabic,
I'm gonna ask you, Ishrahi
Mas Saba Dariq. I'm gonna say to you,
what does that mean? And you're gonna say,
her laziness.
Right? Good job. Look at y'all, man.
I'm gonna sleep well tonight,
especially if the buck lose.
So let's look at some important words.
Here's these important words that I'm gonna put
this in the group the group.
This and that female.
Right?
And here you see it here,
The male version of is.
Mhmm. And we say whenever we see a
word
that ends in this female ta,
we know it's
Whenever we see a word that doesn't end
in a female ta ta usually,
it's
hada.
Right?
The other word that we learned was It
has a on the end of it. So
it's
This is used to emphasize something's good. So
today,
I would say about your guys' translation,
Very good.
You write that on the kid's paper.
You get happy. You did very good.
But
can be used for anything that you wanna
emphasize.
That it used to demonstrate something,
that
book.
There's a few other words that are super
important that I need you to know.
Ayanen.
Ayanen.
Means from time to time.
Other words that are super important are and.
I say to you, Anna
I am here.
You are there.
And I put it here in a sentence
for you.
I'm here. You are there.
Nah.
Let's get back to our goose,
miss Kina.
We we we we abandoned our goose, man.
Goose is cooked.
So
we're taking the story.
So Karib and Korba, you get an idea,
same meaning. Right?
Near a lake or pond.
Kenneth Taishu was.
There lived
a white moose.
Is Moa
Sana, her name is Sana.
Cara Sana oh tohebo ma a she loves
swimming.
Wotohebo
Island Alorina
and she likes
singing. Now.
Oh, yes. There's these amazing
illustrations. It looks like I did it.
Oh, there's that word I just taught you.
What does it mean?
Sometime.
Mhmm.
So maybe someone says,
they say, like,
do you go to the masjid? You could
say,
Sometimes I do because of COVID. Right? Still
people aren't able to go, like, on a
regular basis. Or
do you eat, like, biryani?
Sometimes.
Do you visit your parents?
Sometimes.
So the word
has this meaning of, like, time to time
from some
it's very important word.
And let me change the color of this
thing.
If it will yeah. There we go.
We already know what means. Means what and.
The word is important, especially if you have
kids.
Your your child may come to you and
say, mama, Ured and Elav,
I wanna play.
Right? You find it in the Quran. In
fact, the text that we just took, almost
every word in that text is in the
Quran except goose.
So don't think you're just learning children's stories.
It's like, no. No. Every word is there,
like, kinda for a reason.
Yusuf, his brothers,
when their father said to him, what is
he gonna do? They said, yarmta
wa yelab.
Yelab means Yusuf was gonna do what? He
was going to
play.
K?
And
and sometimes
and this ta, when you find the present
verb,
if it starts with a ta, it's talking
about a girl
or a woman. If it has a you,
it's talking about a man. So here it's
talking about what? The goose, because the goose
is the female subject we've been talking about
the whole time. How do we know the
goose is the female subject? Because the word
goose ends with what?
Top up top up top up top up
top up top.
Everybody's everybody's favorite top
from last semester.
Right? And that's why in the Quran, when
they talk about you, so they say what?
They don't say talaab
since he's a boy
or a man
instead of
missus Ayn, sorry.
Instead of
a ta, same word,
you put a yeah.
He,
He's playing.
The ta,
she's playing.
There's a way I can teach you this
where we go through every little letter and
what it means, but I prefer that you
habituate it habituate it naturally through reading.
Because we're too old to go through 27
different usages of the pronouns. It's like you're
like, yo, man. Come on. I got babies,
bro.
I got things to do.
So
and sometimes
she played.
The word is important. It's in the Quran.
Allah is.
Allah
you. What does the word mean?
West.
So can you imagine how beautiful this in
the Quran?
Allah says to you,
He's with
you. Wherever you are.
Friends.
This
means
her.
What's Apple Becker's favorite famous name? Apple Becker
what?
Sabeel.
Sabeel.
The same word.
And it's interesting that in Arabic, the word
for friend is from.
Means to be truthful.
What do we call charity when you give
it? Who knows the word for it?
Same word. Siddhaka.
I give siddhaka
because it's a sign of my integrity, my
social integrity.
So
with her
friends.
So easy word.
With
And here we wanna put this,
a colon
or a commas.
Arabic doesn't have punctuation. Right? So we do
it just to help us.
Plea. What is albawt?
The bawt is ducks.
So here we see and one thing that
will help you, and this is why I
use this book, is look at the illustrations.
There's the goose.
Obviously, her friends are ducks. Like some mallards.
Mhmm.
But you can also use pictures to help
you. Right?
So
sometimes
she plays
with
her
friends. The duck.
Oh, I just taught you these words.
Means what?
Here. Here.
Here.
Means?
There.
There. There.
Okay. You have new words. You don't know
them yet. So here
and there.
She would what? She would run.
Means to run.
Means to jump.
Both of these words are in the Quran.
Rivers that flow.
Means to flow. But when you talk about
a person, it means they run. They're running.
So she would run and jump
here and
there.
Masha'Allah,
man. This is an important text.
Let's read it together, and then if you
have any questions about it or anything else,
and then we'll be done.
So and this is being recorded, posted, like,
as soon as we're done here so you
can check it out if you need to.
Is it okay if I erase all the
writing or people still writing stuff?
Alright. I already I already screenshot it. So
Smart. Smart. Maybe you can share the screenshot
in the Google classroom. Sure people would appreciate
it.
So I'll try.
Let's read it together.
Love the Thank you, Ted.
Yeah.
When you're when you're reading this at home,
I want you to make hand gestures.
You know?
That's good. Trust me.
Now you're you're you're you're you think about
the learning styles and gardening and all that
stuff. You're now
immersing emerging the language into your your being,
right, into your space. You created a space
and language. It's your little workshop.
Right?
So next week if you go like this,
I could be like, no, no.
Right?
Yeah. Good
job.
And gentle. Yeah.
Good job. Any questions about this before we,
before we go?
Guys doing good. And remember, I'm still my
major focus now is your reading.
Don't think you have to know all this
vocabulary.
That's good, but I'm also my big goal
is that we get this fluency
going.
Okay? And that that's that's gonna take time.
But at the same time, it's better reading
something like this than just, like, read, read,
read, read, read, read, read, read, read. You're
gonna not really be able to follow along.
I really enjoyed the I really enjoyed the
quizzes or the quiz.
Yeah. Yeah. And so we're gonna add the
quizzes and even in the future,
and maybe this week, I'm gonna add a
video quiz.
Mhmm. I'm gonna say to you, correct me
where I'm wrong. And I might say, huda,
wahoon neck.
You tell me no. No. And next week
we don't we don't have class because it's
eat. Right?
And then the week after we'll pick it
up again. And for those of you in
Northern California or Southern California, I'll be there,
next week for eat in the San Jose
area and then in the OC
after. So we're gonna try to do some
Swiss live meetups. We have a lot of
students in both areas.
So we may try to just do something
for Eid,
while we're out
there. The second thing is
your
recommendations,
if you write on your social media outlets,
if you let people know how you feel
about the class and and encourage people
to sign up, that's helping us grow in
ways that allow us to continue to provide,
like more things. And we have, like, a
big vision.
I shared one of you them is the
Costco Arabic teacher.
We think it's gonna be really cool for
people,
and we wanna actually hire her to do,
like, the speaking lab with people,
that we envision,
moving forward. So you encouraging people, tag us
on your social media so we can share
and let people know, encourage them, talk about
your experiences. Be honest.
Any other questions or comments, thoughts?
And and also keep in mind now that
a lot of the assignments are on the
Thinkific page. Right? So you gotta do them
there instead of the Google classroom so I
can grade them there,
and post them there as well.
Alright.
I have a car to play too. Oh,
no.
So you'll be in Central California?
Northern California
and Southern California.
So San San Jose is central
for because I'm in Northern California.
Yeah. I mean, NorCal is for us, why
you lived in the Bay is everything south
of LA. So Yeah. Not Sacramento. Not Sacramento.
No. I live up in Humboldt County, which
is Oh, wow. That's north north. Yeah. Yeah.
That's true north. Consider that the Northern California.
That's true north. That's I grew up in
or Orange County. And then Nice. Nice. And
then I was in Kentucky during my teen
years, and then I came to Northern California.
So we'll try to catch up.
Yeah. So Thank you so
