A Syrian friend from out of town is driving. He asks you, are you able to help me? [SPEAKING SPANISH] He wants to buy some coffee. He asks you, is there a store not far from here? [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] He's driving very fast. Ask him, can you drive slowly, please? [SPEAKING SPANISH] I know many Syrians drive fast. [SPEAKING SPANISH] But these streets are small. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] You drive very fast. [SPEAKING SPANISH] Many Americans drive slowly. [SPEAKING SPANISH] He says, I'm sorry, I'll drive slowly. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] But I prefer to drive fast. [SPEAKING SPANISH] You remark, the Syrians are faster than the Americans. [SPEAKING SPANISH] Now, how did he ask you if you are able to help him? [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] He says, I'm looking for the store. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] You can't find it. Referring to the address numbers, you say, the numbers are small. [SPEAKING SPANISH] How do you ask him, can you drive slowly? [SPEAKING SPANISH] Say that you are not able to read the numbers. [SPEAKING SPANISH] You want to suggest, if you drive slowly, I can read the numbers. Here's the word for if. [SPEAKING SPANISH] Here's how to say, if you drive slowly. [SPEAKING SPANISH] I'm able to read the numbers. [SPEAKING SPANISH] He says, all right, I will drive slowly. [SPEAKING SPANISH] But usually, I don't like to drive slowly. [SPEAKING SPANISH] He says, many Americans drive slowly. [SPEAKING SPANISH] They drive slowly in America. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] Usually, the Syrians drive very fast. [SPEAKING SPANISH] But the gas is expensive in Syria. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] He agrees, saying, I think it's more expensive than in America. [SPEAKING SPANISH] After you've found the store, you return to the car. You have the map, so he asks you, where is Star Square? [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] How do you tell him, these streets are small? [SPEAKING SPANISH] But I think Star Square is not far from here. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] He suggests, how about we go to the Spring Cafe? [SPEAKING SPANISH] He says to you, if you want to have a coffee with me. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] He adds, I'll drive slowly. [SPEAKING SPANISH] Here's how you say, great. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] Great, take the first street to the right. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] These streets are small, but I think. [SPEAKING SPANISH] That's the correct road. [SPEAKING SPANISH] After he turns, say, now take the first street to the left. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] Later, you're looking for the cafe. Say, if you drive slowly. [SPEAKING SPANISH] I can read the numbers. [SPEAKING SPANISH] Tell him the spring cafe is not far from here. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] He says, all right, I will drive slowly. [SPEAKING SPANISH] Now it's another day. Ask your friend if he's going into town later. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] I have to send some letters. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] Referring to a woman, how does he say, to take you? [SPEAKING SPANISH] He offers, I'm able to take you into town. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] At half past three. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] If you want. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] Here's how you'd ask him, are you able to take me or can you take me? [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] To the post office. [SPEAKING SPANISH] He tells you, I'm going into town at half past three. [SPEAKING SPANISH] How do you ask him, can you take me with you? [SPEAKING SPANISH] I need to go to the post office and the store. [SPEAKING SPANISH] How does he say, of course I can take you? [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] Great. [SPEAKING SPANISH] Now imagine it's another day in your car is in the shop. How do you ask your neighbor if he can take you into town? [SPEAKING SPANISH] How does he say, unfortunately? Literally, I'm sorry. [SPEAKING SPANISH] I can't take you today. [SPEAKING SPANISH] But today is Friday. [SPEAKING SPANISH] Try to say, you always drive into town on Friday. [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] You can't take me to the post office by car. [SPEAKING SPANISH] He says, no, I'm sorry, not today. [SPEAKING SPANISH] I'm not able to take you now. [SPEAKING SPANISH] Ask him again, you can't take me into town with you? [SPEAKING SPANISH] He says, no, my car isn't working today. [SPEAKING SPANISH] If your car isn't working. [SPEAKING SPANISH] You can't take me. [SPEAKING SPANISH] He says, no, I'm sorry.

He adds, "I'm going to there by bus." "Raya Lanique will bus." "I don't want to go there on foot." "Mabidiro Lanique mashi." "I'm not able to take you by car today." "Mabidiro Lanique mashi ar al yong." How does he say, "My car isn't working well?" "Sayarti ma'am t'relimni." Teasing him, you say, "But maybe you drive too fast." "I'm not able to drive too fast." "I'm not able to drive too fast." He admits, the Syrians drive faster than the Americans. "I'm not able to drive too fast." "And me, I like to drive fast." "But today my car isn't working well." "Sayarti ma'am t'relimni." Sadly he says, "I will not drive today." "Maha solio." You say, "Usually you drive very fast." You say, "I'm not able to drive too fast." He says, "The Syrians drive faster than the Americans." But gas is more expensive in Syria than in America. But today my car isn't working. "Sayarti ma'am t'relimni." It's a shame. Playing cards is a popular pastime in Syria. The word for cards is, "Shadei." Here's how to say, "To play cards." Here's how to ask him, "Do you play cards?" Here's how to ask him, "Do you play cards?" Here's how to ask him, "Do you play cards?" Ask your friend, "You don't play cards?" How would he say, "Yes, I like to play cards?" Do you remember how to say, "To the cafe?" Try to say, "At the cafe." Try to ask him, "Do you play cards at the cafe?" You want to suggest playing a game. Here's the word for, "We are able to," or "We can." Here's how to say, "Play," in "We can play." Try to say, "We can play cards." But can we play cards today? He says, "No, I can't play today." He continues, "I'm sorry." I'm taking the bus. My car isn't working. I don't want to go to there on foot. He suggests, "Can we play cards on Saturday?" Tell him, "Yes, I think so." How does he say, "Great?" We can play cards on Saturday. With your wife and my husband. He wants to say, "That's a good idea." We can play cards on Saturday morning. He says, "I like to play cards." Now it's another day, and you're talking to an acquaintance. How do you ask him if he plays cards? He says, "I like to play cards a little." He says, "That's a good idea." He asks you, "Do you have the time tomorrow morning?" He asks you, "Do you have the time tomorrow morning?" He asks, "Do you have the time tomorrow morning?" He asks, "Do you have the time tomorrow morning?" But I can play cards later at 4 o'clock. He asks you, "Do you have the time tomorrow morning?" He asks you, "Can you take me in your car?" He says, "Do you have the time tomorrow morning?" He replies, "That's a good idea." He says, "Do you have the time tomorrow morning?" The next day, your friend picks you up. How do you tell him that he's driving too fast? I know many Syrians drive fast. But these streets are very small. And you drive very fast. Ask him, "Can you drive slowly please?" He says, "Yes, I drive too fast." He says, "Yes, I drive too fast." How does he say that he will drive slowly? Now it's another day and you're talking with a colleague. Ask him if he plays cards. How would he say, "Yes, I like to play cards?" Ask him, "Do you play cards at the cafe?" He says, "Yes, we can play cards there at night." He says, "Yes, we can play cards there at night." Tell him, "That's a good idea." After work, your colleague suggests, "How about we go to have a coffee?" How about you? Great. He's driving and you're looking for the cafe. Suggest, if you drive slowly, I can read the numbers. He says, "I can drive slowly if you want." He says, "I can drive slowly if you want." This is the end of Unit 24 and the end of today's lesson.
