Arabic Classes

We're now entering our 4th week of Arabic classes. We have an amazing teacher who has developed his own programme. Its really cool - we learn grammer rules without even knowing that we're learning them! We also study saying of the Prophet nd analyse the grammer and also a 3rd book which has reading comprehension passges. We have classes 5 days a week (Thurs and Fri are the weekend for us)

Our teacher keeps us on our toes. He has quick fire questioning sessions and god forbid if you are sleeping! you miss your turn! He has also figured out what our weaknesses are... for example, one of the students has issues in determining where the 'is' in the sentence goes, so the teacher ALWAYS asks him.

Our classes are in the afternoon - a little different to Qum (where all our classes were in the mornings). It just means rearranging the day so that homework, housework and cooking are done in the mornings, class in the afternoon, shrine of Sayyida Zainab for evening prayers and then home for dinner.
