Thanks Nancy. I'm sorry if this sounds narcissistic: Yesterday, I spent a good 30 minutes staring at the page I'd uploaded earlier. Not reading. I just stared at the lines and the dots. I ran my hand over the lines and I couldn't believe I'd written it all myself. :)
Some do. These are words I've read and written many times over. Like hadha and hadhihi. But, I do make mistakes. The other day, I misread bint as bayt. They look the same. Only the dots are placed differently. :)
Thanks. :) Edited by napoleon on 24 April 2014 at 6:41pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

A quick update:
I'm halfway through DVD 4 (Madinah Book 1). I learnt about adjectives and compound pronouns. I was amazed to learn that compound pronouns are actually mudaf and mudaf ilaihi. :) kitabuhu(his book)=kitabu + hu kitaby(my book)=kitab + y where kitab is the mudaf and the pronoun is the mudaf ilayhi 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Just a really quick post. I found an online dictionary that allows you to put in a few arabic letters and gives you all of the
entries for those starting letters. It is vocalized. I wonder if now that I am a "Senior Member" that I can post links here, we'll see... The dictionary is here I haven't really used it much, except for just a couple of words to try it out. Hope it turns out to be a useful tool! edit: YAY! My link actually worked this time. I'm not a newbie anymore! It's like a teenager getting a driver's license as a rite of passage into adulthood. Here, when we can finally post working links, it's a rite of passage into actually being a part of the forum! :-) Edited by nancydowns on 13 April 2014 at 3:03pm 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Grat find! It's a great dictionary. Especially because it has the vowel signs.
Yeah, it felt great when I became a senior member too. :) Edited by napoleon on 13 April 2014 at 6:15pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Watched lqtoronto's DVD 04 (Madinah Book 1) and did the exercises for lesson 9 (adjectives).
P.S. I wasn't able to access the forum yesterday. Today, I used a workaround emk had tweeted and was finally able to log in. What a fright it has been! I have taken backups of both my language logs. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Yes, thank you stelingo! We appreciate any help!
Napoleon, I am sorry I have been neglecting this log! I haven't been a very good study partner. I just updated my log with some of the things I have recently learned from "Mastering Arabic." I am sorry that because I am using a different book, it makes it hard for us to discuss what we are learning and to help motivate each other! I hope you can understand that I have a personal reason for not using the Madinah program. However, I know that it is probably very good, especially with the lecture series along with it! So the best I can do to try to be a better study partner is to tell you what I am learning from my book. I just learned about using the lam to show possession, counting, and the accusative case. I am anxious for the next two chapters because they teach the three letter root, broken plurals, and the past tense! Kind of exciting to be getting to the past tense! I will try to upload another picture of my writing sometime. I am going to try writing more as a way of recalling vocab items that I can't keep in my memory. Hope you are doing well in your studies. How are you splitting up your time between French and Arabic? I am spending much more time on Spanish than Arabic, but I hope once I get through the two programs I am using with Spanish that I can up my time for Arabic and using reading and listening only for Spanish. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
