Meet Um Kulthum’s Granddaughter (2) Posted by on Jan 21, 2017 in Arabic Language, Culture

Marhaba! I hope you found the recent listening comprehension exercise on Um Kulthum’s granddaughter inspiring and fun. Today, I am sharing the answers to the previous questions in the listening comprehension post. I am also sharing the news story to refresh your memory. I am also sharing another beautiful performance by Sana’ Nabil. I hope you are starting to feel much more comfortable when discussing important and recent developments in Arabic. As I have mentioned earlier, learning to discuss recent developments is a very important step in your learning journey. As always, dear Arabic lovers, stay tuned for interesting posts, songs, comprehension exercises, grammar lessons, and recipes in the near future.

About the Author: jesa

Salam everyone! Born as an American to two originally Arab parents, I have been raised and have spent most of my life in Beirut, Lebanon. I have lived my good times and my bad times in Beirut. I was but a young child when I had to learn to share my toys and food with others as we hid from bombs and fighting during the Lebanese Civil War. I feel my connection to Arabic as both a language and culture is severing and so it is with you, my readers and fellow Arabic lovers, and through you that I wish to reestablish this connection by creating one for you.
