الِاتِّجَاهَاتُ وَالْمَوْقِع
Vocabulary lesson 18 of 20
Directions and Position
Understand right, left, near, far, inside, and outside.
Direction words are most useful when heard quickly. Practise responding physically by turning or pointing.
Combine them with a place word: the masjid is near, the station is on the left, or the shop is in front.
