This course is aimed at learners of EA who already know the basics, but want to take their vocabulary to the next level and sound more like an Egyptian.
We cover 16 different topics, and we keep reviewing them throughout the course to make sure your don't learn each vocabulary item only once.
After each set of four lessons, we have a lesson that reviews these four lessons.
The vocabulary comes in with examples sentences and pictures to reinforce the vocabulary in your memory.
After the vocab sections, we usually have a text based on this vocabulary.
And finally, we have discussion questions at the end of lessons to have a chance to practice using the vocabulary we learned and discuss the topic of the lesson.
You get the PDFs, the accompanying videos, and two versions of audio for all texts (paragraphs).
