Topics: Trade Law, vocab, and a movie
Abdulrahman and I followed up on Saturday to discuss the Trade Law article that I provided him on Friday, found here. http://www.tamimi.com/en/magazine/law-update/section-14/december-january-3/new-saudi-arabia-companies-law-effective-2016.html
As mentioned previously, he was aware of the details regarding the particular law (in arabic) as it was part of his studies and as a result helped him recognize key facts from the article in English, but was not wholly understandable. Many of the words were particular to contracting, companies or legalese, but quite a few of the words were "smarter" variations of words he already knows. I've attached my vocabulary list below that I provided to him Friday at the end of our session. I defined each word, offered part of speech, and offered an example sentence.
We discussed the article again and he mentioned that the vocabulary was of great help to understand more detail in the article. Abdulrahman also referenced a number of the more practical vocabulary words like provision, anticipate, and optimize. He asked questions about some others, such as promulgate and net profit, and how often it is used in daily speech. I informed him that it was more of a written or contract term than a conversational word. He later asked if I could find him a list of regularly used conversational vocabulary so I'm going to look into that for our next meeting Monday evening. I've also got a new article and vocabulary list for him.
After our hour article and vocabulary discussion was over, we went to the theatre and saw Wonder Woman. It was awesome! :)
