Text and translation

I have learned several useful phrases this month. I have practised them with a colleague at work. We have recorded two short conversations together. I have not listened to the second recording yet. My colleague has suggested a topic for next week. We are going to practise asking for clarification.

تعلمت عدة عبارات مفيدة هذا الشهر. تدربت عليها مع زميل في العمل. سجلنا محادثتين قصيرتين معًا. لم أستمع إلى التسجيل الثاني بعد. اقترح زميلي موضوعًا للأسبوع القادم. سنتدرب على طلب التوضيح.
