Meet Um Kulthum’s Granddaughter (2) Posted by jesa 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.
Answers:
1) Um Kulthum’s sister is her maternal grandmother

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.
