Conversation and perhaps a text.

Because we are considering intermediate texts. Thought we could take a look at an excerpt from one of Ahmed Khaled Tawfik's short pocket novels. Maybe this introduction to one of his collections that gives you a sense of Rif'at Isma'il.

Various people show up every week, from relative newcomers to native speakers. Our goal is to develop a regular group of people at a lower-intermediate level and above who can have basic conversations (even if not fully fluent). We are supportive and can help if you have difficulty getting an idea across. People at a beginner level are welcome as well, and hopefully, you will get some benefit from hearing Arabic spoken.
Zoom link available if you RSVP
