Another Day of Learning- 9/24/17
Hello all, Will here!
Today we had our second Survival Arabic course. We recapped on some phrases from our previous lecture and then moved into the good stuff- haggling, ordering, and yelling directions to taxi drivers that most likely have GPS. The language can definitely be difficult at times, but Professor AlEkhnawy has a very enjoyable and interactive way of teaching which helps a ton!
After our first class, many students carried on the ritual of heading to Zooba for a quick bite. There the employees are starting to get familiar with us even though they spell Will, WLL a majority of the time.
We began our second lecture for the day with Professor El Masry where we covered Egyptian society and family life. It was incredibly interesting to hear about the sociological side of Egypt and it gave us great insight on the society in whole. Near the end of the lecture, we held a debate on a contemporary issue in Egypt and opened up some great points for both sides.
Overall, it was another great day of discovering more about this historically saturated place and we are now mentally preparing for our 4:30 AM flight to Luxor tomorrow.
