Earlier this year, I started teaching Arabic at my school - in addition to English. It was good. One class only. However, came second school term (the third week of it actually), I started teaching Arabic for two classes, and none for English.
I had to put away most of the resources I've been collecting for English, to make room for Arabic. It was secondary at first, but now it's become priority.
Funnily enough after putting away some English stuff, I have the shelves kinda barren. There's no resource for Arabic! None at all. All in here? *tap brain*
YAH YOU WISH!
I offered the empty spaces on my shelves for my colleagues to put their students' books. Arabic subject only uses two books (exercise and workbook) as opposed to English which we have preset will be needing three, one biology for Grammar, another for Comprehension and Composition, and a small one for Vocab, Spelling, Dictionary and what have you. All things miscellaneous.
After a while, I've begun bringing my Arabic grammar books to school. I have tons, you see. Questions keep popping out every other day. I admit I'm kinda reluctant to google (although that's what I have to do some days *malas bah*), when I have tons of reliable resources at home.
And then recently I realised, I seldom open these books. Know why? Because Nahu (grammar) is not really the subject I'm weak at. I love grammar. I rule at Arabic and English grammars. Well, the basics and intermediate ones at least. Not the rare you-seldom-come-across ones - to use gaming term. But yeah, most of the times, I discover the trouble I have that makes me reach for a book is not Nahu. It is rather, the Sarf.
So today, on a glorious Friday, I'm going to dig my Sarf books and bring some to school tomorrow. Be back later with some pictures.
