Dialog 1
In this conversation, two friends, Ali and Sarah, discuss their weekend plans and activities. They talk about where they are going and what they are doing and share casual updates on their lives. The dialogue emphasizes daily routines and social interactions, such as visiting a restaurant, a museum, or a café and planning future activities like trips to the beach or university library visits. This conversation is set in the present and future tenses, allowing learners to practice everyday Arabic expressions and vocabulary for common situations.
| علي: مرحباً سارة! كيف حالكِ اليوم؟ |
| سارة: مرحباً علي! أنا بخير، شكراً. ماذا تفعلُ في السوقِ؟ |
| علي: أريد أن أشتري ملابس جديدَة مِنْ هذا المُتْجر في هذا المِبنى الكبير. وأنتِ ماذا تفعلين في السوق؟ |
| سارة: أريدُ أن أزور متحفَ الفنِ مع صديقتي لينا، ثُمَّ سنذهَبُ إلى المقهى الجديد في السّوق لِنشربَ القهوة العربية |
| علي: رائِعاً! أريدُ أن أشتري الملابِس ثُمَّ سأذهبُ إلى العملِ بعدَ ذلك، هل تعملين؟ |
| سارة: نعم، أعملُ في صيدليةٍ وسطَ المدينةِ، وأنتَ ماذا تعملُ؟ |
| علي: أنا أعملُ في المطارِ الدوليّ |
| سارة: ممتاز، ابن عمّي يعملُ في الفُندقِ القريب من المطارِ |
| علي: هذا جيد! ماذا ستفعلين في عطلة نهاية الأسبوع؟ |
| سارة: سأزورُ جَدَّتي في المُستَشفى ثمَّ سأذهبُ معَ أُسرَتي إلى البُحيرة شمالَ المدينةِ، وسنأكلُ في المطعمِ القريبِ مِنَ الجِسرِ، وأنتَ؟ |
| علي: في يومِ السّبتِ، سأذهبُ إلى مَكتَبَةِ الجامعَةِ وأدرُسُ معَ صديقي خالِد عندنا امتحان صعب الأسبوع القادم. لكِنْ في يومِ الأحد سنذهبُ أنا وخالد إلى الغابةِ شرقَ المدينةِ ثُمَّ سنزورُ المُنتَزه وَسِطَ المدينِةِ |
| سارة: يا سلام! مع السّلامة |
| علي: إلى اللِقاء |
