SHOE...la mo'akhza

I've seen students who know more grammar rules than me! And if I give them any grammar rule...they love me forever and ever! Bas eh el fayda? Eh el fayda inee 3araf kol el grammar bas ma 3andeesh kalimat kefa 3ashan to express myself?

DICTIONARY, DICTIONARY, DICTIONARY, DICTIONARY wa kaman mara DICTIONARY!

eh el dawsha dee 3al dictionary??!!! Most people don't use it even though it's one of the best books to help your English. You need both...ARABIC/English wa ENGLISH/ENGLISH.

How to build up your vocabulary:

Khodo kilma...eya noun...SHOE masalan (la mo'akhza) and see the different things that make a shoe...zay:

shoe laces (el robat)
sole (el na3al)
heel (el ka3b)
tongue (el lesan)
straps (sharayit el sanadil)

Material:

leather (gild)
suade (chamois...not sure of this spelling and it's French anyway..fa 3ozurunee)
canvas (el omash zay beto3 gizam el kawitch...el my students always tell me coochy!)

Types of shoes:

sneakers (gizam kawitch)
half boots (boots usayara)
boots
sandals (sanadil)
slippers (shabashib)
platforms or wedgies (dababat)

Shoftu kam kilma til3it min hetit ...shoe!

Expression of the day:

I wouldn't like to be in his shoes! = ma hibish akoun fee makanu howa.
