Flashcard Mania


We've had four lessons now with our friend Adam. They are going well and our Arabic is increasing... slowly! We're now up to about 300 words- give or take- but we haven't really learned any verbs. That makes communication a little rough, to say the least! I bought some nice markers before I left the states, just in case I wanted to pick up drawing or sketching whilst away. And in a sense I did! I have to make 30-40 new flashcards for every lesson. We have a book with images, actions and situations, but Adam finds it difficult to understand. Looks like I'll be sketching indefinitely!

Our Visa expires in 12 days-- please keep us in your prayers!

Picture: A sampling of our flashcards... Adam writes the word in Arabic... although we can't read it.

You should save all your cards and publish an arabic picture book.

I am glad you aren't doing portraits jess....I still have the one you drew of me...you know the one where I look like a tree! I will have to post that one on facebook soon for my profile picture!
