Hello everyone and welcome to Episode Six.

Today we are going to try a slightly different format where Ramzi and I will ask each other 5 questions. 

Getting to grips with how you structure questions in Arabic is something I certainly struggle with so there will be an element of translation in this episode (English-Arabic & Arabic-English) to help give some examples in the different question structures the two languages have. 

It's also a chance for us to express our personal opinions about a range of subjects. Feeling like you can truly express yourself in another language is quite a journey and takes time and patience - so I hope this episode helps you. 

Here are some of the new words we will be hearing in today's episode:

I switch on - بشغل

Global crisis - أزمة عالمية

From my humble experience (lit) / in my humble opinion - تجربتي المتواضعة

Subject to change - قابلة للتغير

From different angles - من أكثر من زاوية

I comprehend it - أستوعبها

Thirties - الثلاثينات

Twenties - العشرينات

Clarification - توضيح

It lost a lot - خسر كثير

It has no relationship / irrelevant - ما اله / الها علاقة

I suffer - بأعاني

To pass - بيمروء

Catastrophe/Disaster/Calamity - مصيبة
