Me write pretty one day
An update of my ongoing progress in Arabic class:
We are learning spoken greetings and progressing well with learning the written alphabet, and soon we will start putting the letters together into words and changing their shapes as we do so. We are starting with the six "one-way connecting letters", which don't connect to each other at all - they just sit next to each other and don't change shape. As a result, I can now put those letters together in the following exciting words:
راد (house)
داو (valley)
راز (visit)
دود (worms)
Come راز my راد in the داو! I'll cook you up some دود.
(As a side note, it adds a whole other layer of difficulty when I have to translate the Arabic into Unicode!)
