Discussing the 9th cycle

[Mohammed]

Hello!

There's going to be a three-day consecutive interpretation cycle between French and Arabic. We're looking for two French-speaking volunteers. We'll have one foreign speaker and one interpreter. You can think of me as the Arabic-speaking guy who knows nothing about French.
Monday and Thursdays at 9 PM AMMAN TIME
As of Monday 28th,

Volunteers?

Nihad
Yousra Touria
Assar Shamma
Vicky

[Yousra]

Good morning Doctor.
I'll be glad to to give it a try.
But, I have some questions, please.
Will it be from French into Arabic?
What's the level and the length of each text/ passage to be interpreted?
Will the cycle be recorded or live streamed?

[Yousra]

Mohammed
Until having another volunteer, should I select/prepare any paragraphs or conversations to begin with?

[Yousra]

Nihad. You've already selected introducing yourself. I think you want to start with an elementary conversation as a warming up or so?

[Yousra]

@Mar
Hello, *** I suggest to start with an elementary level too, since Nihad and me haven't used French for a long period. And I like the context of a student asking questions. We'll try to get out of the shell gradually via refreshing our memories.
So as Nihad decided to be the French speaker and you are the Arabic speaker.
I guess you should find a way to prepare the script. Am I supposed to prepare any thing?

[Yousra]

There is another point ***
Next week I will not quiet busy. If it is possible let's start the cycle the week after or any other time you choose.

[Nihad]

Good afternoon Doctor,
I would like that really, but i have Yousra's question.
thank you to suggest such an invitation to work in French with you.

[Mohammed]

Hi Nihad. Call me Mar. You can both agree on anything. It could be a presentation, a training a commercial transaction, etc. Anything works for me. I am going to be your assistant.

[Yousra]

Nihad I think there will be a chance for two participants; The foreign speaker and the interpreter.
Am I correct, doctor?

[Mohammed]

I really prefer to be called Mar (not ***) in English. Correct! In every exchange, there will be three participants: a French speaker, an Arabic speaker and an interpreter.

[Yousra]

Definitly! Thank you for correcting me, doctor.
Nihad, Let's think how shall we plan the session, please.

[Nihad]

ok, i am thinking to start with basic conversations like (how to introduce our selves in French).
i like to speak French first and you do the interpretation, what do you think?

[Yousra]

Sure Nihad. And we will change the roles in the next sessions.

[Mohammed]

You can do it anyway you like. I need just to talk in Arabic and you interpret into French and someone answers in French.

Nihad

Am I missing any French speaking friend?
In the 9th cycle the, you will divide labour among yourselves. We need you to exchange the roles of a French business woman and an interpreter. Other members will be the Arabic speaking customers.

Decide on the day and time and let me know.

[Taroub Al Aref]

Hi MAR
I did not find my name!!

[Mohammed]

Hi Taroub. If you speak French, sure you can participate.

[Alaa Ahmed]

Yes, we missed Nihad dear *** Mohammad. Can Nabiha participate in the interpreting if you please *** Mohammad? She would like to be included.
