On a daily basis, you probably encounter at least a few new people, from the cashier at the grocery store to the mailman. I’m sure you’d be able to describe all these people in English, but how about in Arabic?
Learning body parts and especially the face in Arabic is very important. If you ever need to go to the doctor or the pharmacy, you’ll need to know what you’re talking about. That’s why we’ll be talking about all the different parts of the face in this Arabic lesson. Get your 3iuon (عيون) and Widan (ودان) ready for this lesson!
