Fun to Learn Arabic!

During high school, my SAT books suggested I use flashcards to memorize vocabulary, lots of them. I remember I used to take them everywhere, to school, in the bus and anywhere around the house. It was easy to post them on the wall in front of me as well. I enjoyed using them, I kept on using them in university, for memorizing speeches and presentations.
This Summer, while in Amman, I was proud of Mariyah's Arabic and I was determined on keeping it strong. I thought of looking for flashcards, with the Arabic alphabets printed on them. I wasn't sure I would find any, but thanks to my cousin and her husband I got them in a very beautiful shape!
Lamination is not that cheap here in the states so we did it in Amman and it cost us about $10.

Mariyah loves them as much as she loved "Max the monkey".!
I know it's going to work :)
One thing I am thinking about right now is connecting them all together so none of them gets lost.

** One of our favourite kids songs in Arabic these days is ردو علي.
Playstoon plays it all the time but since we don't have a TV at home we play it on the laptop upon request.
Requested by Mariyah, of course :)
