The vocabulary does not just exist on paper ~ it is meant to be spoken. Repeat each word over and over so that you feel comfortable saying it. 6 HOW TO USE THIS BOOK Carry the CD and flashcards around with you. Whenever you have a spare moment, test yourself by playing the CD or by going through a few cards. Use the flashcards as labels, especially for everyday items. Stick them onto the items they refer to so that you associate them with their Arabic name. Use the flashcards to store the words in your long-term memory. Here is how: * Take five envelopes and label them 1 to 5. * Place the flashcards for a topic in envelope |. * Go through the cards and place the words you know into envelope 2 and keep the rest in envelope | + The next week, go through them again. If you still know a word in envelope 2, move it along to envelope 3. If you know a word from envelope 1, move it along to envelope 2. If you do not know a word, put it back in envelope |. * Each week, do the same, moving the cards to the next envelope if you know the word, or back to envelope | if you do not. Keep going until all the words are in envelope 5. Play a memory game. Lay the flashcards for a topic out on a table, with the Arabic face up. Choose a card and say the meaning of the word out loud. Then turn the card over to check. If you got the meaning right, you can take the card ‘away. If not, put it back and try another card. Once you can do this, turn all of the cards over and try the same thing, but this time from English into Arabic. If you are having difficulty learning a particular word, stick its flashcard onto ‘something you use a lot, such as a refrigerator. Each time you want to use that item, you have to say the word and its meaning before you can go any further! ‘Work with someone else. Test each other on the vocabulary and go through the ‘exercises together, A shared activity can be more enjoyable and motivating. THE VOCABULARY IS PRESENTED. All the vocabulary lists are recorded and transliterated to help with pronunciation Arabic plurals are either sound (ending in 3/59 for sound masculine plural, CA for sound feminine plural) or broken (various forms). It is worth learning the plural with the singular. Plurals are given in brackets for most nouns, e.g. (Cigas) Cus ‘You can assume adjectives use the sound plurals unless otherwise shown. Each verb is given in the past tense and then the present tense, always in the third person masculine (“he”) form, e.g. 53 <3Suw.
