Oh no! I meant to give this 5/5, it’s great! Ignore the 1/5 rating!
A good combination of numbers, countries and other basic vocabulary - it is exciting to see our Arabic starting to make sense in context!
I agree with Tom, it is exciting! It is helpful to see numbers in context.
Most of all, I like the maps in Arabic.
I wonder whether anyone can recommend a website with maps in Arabic that I could use as wallpaper on my computer?
Also, is there an online game similar to the one on the URL below, but in Arabic? URL: http://www.schoolnet.na/games/map/africa.html
Rachel - Thanks for the comment. I am not aware of any site that has large-sized maps in Arabic. If I come across something, I will let you know.
Thanks Mourad that would be helpful to me.
