This is another listening comprehension exercise. After presenting the video, I have some questions for you to answer. I reiterate that reading and listening comprehension exercises are extremely important for practicing Arabic, and in time, can you help out immensely in learning Arabic. With practice I am confident you will be able to listen to native Arabic speakers discuss common topics of interest as well as read and understand different texts, phrases, and passages. As always, I will give you all some time to work on your answers and then I will post the answers to the questions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0648\u0641\u0627\u0629 \u0631\u0626\u064a\u0633 \u062c\u0646\u0648\u0628 \u0625\u0641\u0631\u064a\u0642\u064a\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0633\u0628\u0642 \u0645\u0627\u0646\u062f\u064a\u0644\u0627\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7MTCnbj1eRc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Questions:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>1.
