The Arabic We Speak

In this episode you hear Amani talk about two of our favorite restaurants. She tells you about Sufra in Rainbow street and Jafra in downtown Amman. You hear Amani describe the atmosphere, the historical buildings and how we feel when we go and dine there. Look out for adjectives as this lesson is focused on descriptive language. We encourage you to highlight useful adjective phrases and notice the structure of noun adjective collocations in Levantine Arabic.
