النَّاسُ وَالْعَائِلَة
Vocabulary lesson 2 of 20
People and Family
Talk about the people closest to you and the people you meet.
Family words appear constantly in daily speech, stories, and the Quran. Notice that many Arabic words change according to gender.
Learn related pairs together, such as father and mother or son and daughter. The contrast helps both words stay in memory.
