GCSE vocabulary on Arabicpod101
This post has been included on my new blog: http://welovearabic.wordpress.com
Building sentences with videos
These brilliant video podcasts, available on itunes and their website, are a great way to learn vocabulary by associating it with sweet pictures and stories. First you're shown individual words with pictures, then a short video with a whole sentence, and at the end is a test where you're shown the video and have a few seconds to say the sentence before you're shown it again. The language is clear, standard Arabic.
By topic
* Daily routine: getting ready in the morning
* Daily routine: relaxing in the evening
* Transport: walking, bus, car, plane
* Classroom phrases 1
* Classroom phrases 2
* Talking about technology: phones, SMS, emails and surfing the net
General vocabulary
* Top 20 Arabic verbs 1 - do, make, want, love, use
* Top 20 Arabic verbs 2
* Top 20 Arabic verbs 3
* Top 20 Arabic verbs 4
Vocabulary with pictures
These videos are more simple: just a series of pictures introducing vocabulary which you're tested on at the end. But they're still a really nice way to pick up a few more words or test yourself, with some relaxing jazz background music!
* Vegetables
* Fruit
* Transport
* Places around town
* Parts of the body
* Cooking in the kitchen
* Weather
* Clothing
* In a bookshop
* Describing a room
* Office
* Jobs
* Arabic fairy tales!
* Sport
* School subjects
* Colours
* Computers
* Winter
* Summer
* Dating
Key vocabulary in sample sentences
NB. Egyptian pronunciation!
These videos are a bit harder (described by Arabicpod101 as "beginners" whereas the ones above are for "absolute beginners" - I'd describe these as pre-intermediate as opposed to beginners) and introduce you to sample sentences illustrating the new vocabulary. The sample sentences will include a lot of words you don't know, especially verbs: don't worry about that, but just try to follow the pronunciation with the help of the subtitles and listen out for the key word.
* Positive emotions
* Negative emotions
* At the table: yum yum... hungry and thirsty...
* Natural disasters
* Weather
* Sports
* More sports
* Daily activities 1
* Daily activities 2
* Daily activities 3
