My 5-old-daughter and I are attending an Arabic course since october (in different classes: adult/children). When I read your post I thought: My Goodness! That's exactly what is happening in our household! My husband never helps my daughter (or me) with the homework. I have to help her, notwithstanding the fact that my level of Classical Arabic is no higher than hers. <br />I thought it was just him, now you are telling me it's a cultural thing.. Oh my!<br />We also must face the problem of the oral vs written language. I'd like to improve my lebanese dialect (that is veeeery poor) but found myself learning Classical Arabic because, i was told, that is the basis of dialect, and Lebanese will find its way, in the end (yes, maybe in 30 years' time!). The more I study Arabic the less I find in common with Lebanese..Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01695050545350838330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11791864.post-18279834858076757302010-03-04T22:08:12.297+01:002010-03-04T22:08:12.297+01:00Literary Arabic Is Expressed In Brain Of Arabic Sp...<a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/11/091104091724.htm" rel="nofollow">Literary Arabic Is Expressed In Brain Of Arabic Speakers As A Second Language</a>masnoreply@blogger.com
