Title: Arabic First language
Post by: MissDE on May 05, 2009, 08:33:20 pm: Hello,

I have a question in Arabic First Lang.

The new format of the questions is a little bit weird, and we only have two papers to practice; 2008 June and November..

My question is about the questions after the first passage, what type of questions are these..????

I mean, what do I have to expect?

Peace!

This is good, I think...

I didn't knw what to do in languages, so i took both Arabic and Eng as first languages...
Title: Re: Arabic First language
Post by: sanity_master on May 06, 2009, 02:27:36 pm: the major reason that made me not to take eng first lang, is that i couldnt find a gd tutor until a late time.....and i couldnt change ma mind so i just went through this... :D

Post by: MissDE on May 06, 2009, 03:53:13 pm: Better for you, these two langs are driving me crazy!!!
Title: Re: Arabic First language
Post by: twilight on May 06, 2009, 10:53:14 pm: me too .. i'm no good at all in arabic .. but i still had to take it 1st lang and english 2nd lang
my dad helped me in arabic .. i had no tutor .. he used 2 laf a LOT while reading wut i wrote because of my spellings and the way i write because i c**t help translate english expressions into arabic,.. so everything sounded damn funny :D and my dad goes like " mt2akeda enek 3arabeya?? "

Post by: sweetsh on May 06, 2009, 10:55:16 pm: I take classical arabic for edexcel. Its translation, harder that arabic as a 1st language.
