More about the podcast episode:
Lip pursing in order to hold herself back from saying something that could result in her acting out of character is something that Halimah exercises extra hard particularly during the Holy month of Ramadan.
Halimah & Hannah are a couple of fictitious ‘’Black’’ British wives, each with a big family.
Halimah has 4 boys & 2 girls. Hannah has 3 girls & a boy on the way. Both families recognise that it takes a village to raise a family and have been contemplating leaving the UK and going to the UK, and so they've done a bit of research and jotted down a list of countries. Which countries could end up being their new home, and what circumstances have lead them to think deeply about leaving everything behind?
Listen to another episode of 'Speak Like an Egyptian', bringing to you new words and phrases in Egyptian Arabic in a story context, to make the experience of a ''Black'' woman at the start of her Arabic learning journey more practical and easier to retain. The topic? Immigration.
Remember to pause, stop and replay when needed, and look out for your free downloadable to consolidate what you'll learn.
Enjoy!
