A unit naming at least two articles of clothing and three colors in Arabic
In this unit students will learn the names of colors in Arabic. They will also learn the names of clothes people living in Egypt wear and the types of clothing they could buy at a traditional market in Egypt, like the Khan el-Khalili and Yemama Center in Zamalek. With the use of a slide show, students will practice pronouncing the Arabic words for colors and name articles of clothing.
The unit consists of one lesson in 12 parts. Seven sample vocabulary lessons are also included.
This is one of 6 units from the 2004 Egypt Seminar held at the Center for Middle East Studies at UC Santa Barbara.
