Hello,
Below are a few more errata I've come across. Some are small errors, others are more important, like missing sound files, etc. I hope these notes help to make Rocket Arabic even better. Thanks for the great course! I am enjoying it.
Errata in Rocket Arabic
1.7 Survival Phrases
The sound file for مش بتكلم عربي كتير ("I don’t speak much Arabic") is wrong. The voice recording says “مساء النور" (“Good Afternoon”)
In the Grammar Section, the text
“However, if the word in question ends with two vowels, then the suffix will be included in full.”
should read:
“However, if the word in question ends with two consonants, then the suffix will be included in full.”
The sound file for "امهم” (Your mother (plural)) is wrong: the audio plays “امهم” (Their mother)
The Subsection “Counting into the Teens”:
does not display the Arabic numerals (only the transliteration and the English). This is also the case for the earlier example of counting one through ten. Since this is a writing exercise, the missing numbers are important.
The sound file for "Tamantashar" (Eighteen "18") doesn't play.
1.8 Being Polite
The quiz for 1.8 is the same as the quiz for 1.3.1
The question:
“What is the Arabic word for ahwa?”
should read:
“What is the Arabic word for coffee?”
and the answer should be “ahwa”, not “coffee”
1.9 I Like
In the “Culture” section:
The title “Realtionships” should be “Relationships”
In the “Writing” section:
The letter “ع” should be “Ghayn (3)” in English, not “Ghrayn (3)”
In the quiz for 1.9:
The quiz is missing (no quiz a all, only a tab with the Submit button)
There is a spurious audio widget on the page.
1.11 Food (Bonus Lesson)
In the "Phrases" section:
“Fegan ahwa lao sama7t” should read “Fengan ahwa lao sama7t.”
Unless you tell me otherwise, I'll send more as I come across them.
Salaam,
Glenn
