Mindfulness, Lesson 5 Advanced level

In this episode you hear Amani talk about taking it slow. It is probably in times like these we are very aware of the importance of looking after ourselves. In this podcast Amani asks you to think about the activities you do deliberately in order to take care of your mental, emotional, and physical health. Don't forget the worksheets to lesson 5: https://bit.ly/The-Arabic-We-Speak-Advanced-Mindfulness-Lesson05 This lesson series is for advanced level learners and focuses on listening comprehension and vocabulary development. In this lesson series you find ten recorded texts that are visually and structurally supported to help you engage with mindfulness-related subtopics. Before you listen, read the introduction and engage with the images to activate schemata around the subtopics. This way you prepare yourself for targeted listening. Please bear in mind that concepts mean different things in different languages and cultures. By the end of this lesson course you will get a idea of what the concept of mindfulness means to us and how we experience it. The English texts are not literal translations, but there to help you with cultural and conceptual understanding of the original Arabic texts. At this level, you would want to try to avoid them as much possible and only fall back on them if absolutely necessary; this way you immerse yourself with spoken Levantine Arabic and push your second language acquisition into a higher gear.
