Phrasebook for Refugee Children Hello! My friend is a first grade teacher (7 year old children). She has some immigrant children from Syria in her class, and wants some simple phrases to communicate with them. Is there a Syrian speaker, or someone who knows Syrian Arabic, who can translate these phrases for me into عامية? You can write them in Arabic script or in Latin letters(Arabish). (Please include Harakat if you write in Arabic script! If you write them in both, it's even better!) I can read the Arabic script and pronounce Arabic words. Please, these children are too young to speak FusHa. However, if you think 6 and 7 year old children understand some FusHa, please correct me in a message below. I have filled in the ones I know: Good morning. 9baa7 il-5eer/ 9baa7 il-5eeraat. Try your best It’s okay if it’s not correct This bus will take you home Give this to your mom Give this to your dad Walk (Don't run!) Please be quiet. Line up! (Queue up!) Did you bring a lunch? Yes. eyy. No. laa / la2a. Get your backpack Snack time! Finish this at home and bring it back to school. Sit Down Choose what you want for lunch. Color this picture. Write your name Add the numbers Subtract the numbers Draw a picture of…. Thank you for helping these children!
