Episode Six: NEW Format - Translating and responding to questions
Hello everyone and welcome to Episode Six. Today we are going to try a slightly different format where Ramzi and I will ask each other 5 questions. Getting to grips with how you structure questions in Arabic is something I certainly struggle with so there will be an element of translation in this episode (English-Arabic & Arabic-English) to help give some examples in the different question structures the two languages have. It's also a chance for us to express our personal opinions about a range of subjects. Feeling like you can truly express yourself in another language is quite a journey and takes time and patience - so I hope this episode helps you. Here are some of the new words we will be hearing in today's episode: I switch on - بشغل Global crisis - أزمة عالمية From my humble experience (lit) / in my humble opinion - تجربتي المتواضعة Subject to change - قابلة للتغير From different angles - من أكثر من زاوية I comprehend it - أستوعبها Thirties - الثلاثينات Twenties - العشرينات Clarification - توضيح It lost a lot - خسر كثير It has no relationship / irrelevant - ما اله / الها علاقة I suffer - بأعاني To pass - بيمروء Catastrophe/Disaster/Calamity - مصيبة
