Thank you all: what a wonderful community this is.
Thanks be to God, through your prayers I'm feeling a bit better today. While work is still a bit of a struggle, I am looking forward to dinner tonight.
Arabic class was great fun, as usual -- and we had a wonderful surprise during our break [which is only the second break we've had in six classes...we generally plough through the two-and-a-half hours non-stop]. Our teacher had made these wonderful tuna 'sandwiches' [I can't think of a better term and I've forgotten what they're actually called]: lebanese bread as a base, yoghurt -- Middle Eastern style, not sweet -- at the top, and filled with tuna, capsicum, onions and olives. Mmm Mmm Mmm. Such a wonderful teacher.
In class we looked at two sentence-types, those that begin with nouns and those that begin with verbs. We also reviewed our plurals and practised a bit more with forming sentences, and asking and answering questions to find out about somebody. I need to do a bit more work during the week as it is becoming more difficult, but even though it is becoming more challenging, it is still very, very enjoyable. We have a great class and a great teacher. And the surprise dinner rather helped with the enjoyment also.
