A few years ago, as many as 1,000 schools across the USA started making school years longer by
وذلك بزيادة عشرة ايام اضافية
او جعل اليوم الدراسي اطول
بنحو نصف ساعة
adding up to ten extra days to the school year or by making each school day longer by half an hour
ويعود السبب في ذلك
انه وجد ان طلبة المدارس الثانوية

This was because it was found that secondary school students in the USA and the UK were

A visiting student’s / Anita’s blog post
قبل فصلين من الصيف
قضيت خمسة اشهر
في دراسة اللغة العربية
في الجامعة الاردنية الالمانية
Two summers ago, I spent five months studying Arabic at the German-Jordanian University
بالقرب من مادبا
لأن والدي من اصل اردني
فإنني كبرت اتحدث العربية
near Madaba. As my father is originally from Jordan, I grew up speaking Arabic as well as
و الالمانية
على اية حال
فإنني لم ادرس اللغة العربية بشكل رسمي
و عندما سنحت لي الفرصة
German. However, I had never studied Arabic formally, and when the opportunity came up for
لقضاء عام لدراسة اللغة العربية في الاردن
لم اتردد للحظة
me to spend a year in Jordan studying Arabic, I didn’t hesitate for one moment.
لدي اقارب في الاردن
رتبوا لي ان اقيم
مع عائلة رائعة
تسكن
I have relatives in Jordan and they arranged for me to stay with a wonderful family who live
خارج مأدبا
كنت مندهشة
بعدد الطلاب الاجانب هناك
وهم ليسوا فقط
just outside Madaba. I was amazed by the number of international students there, who were not
من المانيا
ولكن من جميع انحاء العالم
معظمهم درسوا
اللغة العربية لمستوى المتقدم
only from Germany, but from all over the world. Most of them had studied Arabic to a high level.
انني على معرفة باللهجة العربية العامية
التي
تفهمها و تتحدثها عائلتي
I’m very familiar with colloquial Arabic, which is what my family speaks and understands.
كان صف اللغة العربية
باللغة العربية الفصحى
مثير للتحدي
و خصوصا القواعد
The Arabic class, in Modern Standard Arabic, was challenging, especially the grammar.
كل اسبوع
كان علينا ان نتعلم

قمنا بتغطية الكثير من المواضيع
Every week, we had to learn a vocabulary list of around 50 words. We covered many topics.

و حصلت على درجة ) أ ( ممتاز في الدورة
my back into it, and I earned an’ A’ on the course.
اللذي اعجبني
بمعظم الطلاب في الاردن
هو سلوكهم
و موقفهم
What impressed me most about students in Jordan was their behaviour and their attitude to
