Omen
Amiyya is colloquial Arabic. FusHa is standard formal Arabic. The latter is used mostly in writing, the former in speaking. I understand/speak much better than I read/write.
"How can I learn FusHa?"
"Kate, first you've got to want it more than anything else, from within. Do you want to learn FusHa?"
"YES. I do! I need to! Then what do I do?"
"Then you have to read. Read, read, read. Read with Hibba. Read on your own. Read as much as you can. Learn the grammar, but you have to do it in a functional way. Reading will help you better and faster than anything else."
"Okay."
Prof NagiH's name comes from the same root as the verb "to succeed." I take that as an omen.
