How was your weekend?
Mine was fine. Relaxing. Nothing special.
Then I spoke to my dad Sunday night and suddenly wished I was back home.
Why?
Because in Prague it’s raining.
But in Virginia it’s snowing.
MAILBAG MONDAY
An Atomic Homework reader asks about the Atomic Words:
Which form of the word should I learn first? A word can be a noun, verb or adjective, when you learn a new word, the word exists in several forms. It can be overwhelming for the memory.
That is correct.
Although the list of Atomic Words is short, to get the full benefit from them, so you can understand 87 – 100% of English sentences, you should know all the forms of the words.
But it’s not as difficult as you think.
You don’t have to memorize all the forms.
Memorizing is difficult.
You just have to read and listen a little every day.
Soon, you’ll see the patterns.
That’s how native speakers learn.
Hi,
It was fine, relaxing and sleeping weekend because the temperature increases. While it was minus, windy or with snow, I was mostly in Maroko for the first time, seven days and nights. It was great. Marrakesh/Marakeš is red town with Mederesa, Palace of great Vezir in the huge red Medina. The Medina is in the centre of the town with many products for sale and reastaurants. Marakeš is in the south of country, near the Atlas mountain. Esauira or something like that is amazing small town, also in the south and on the Atlantic ocean. Fes is old capital city in the centre of the country with Royal palace, the old lavirint Medina and also the new Medina where were living Jews during the Second World War. It has also new parts of city, more modern with Bulevars. The Atlantik is also great in Rabat and in Kasablanka, at the west of the country. Rabat is the capital city and has the unfinished Palace with the Mauzoleum, the Kasaba (the fortess) and also not so interesting Medina. In Kasablanka we saw Rick’s cafe but it has dress code and we had only sportish, comfort or cosy clothes. But we found nice Bianca cafe near ocean, it was suggestion by chatgpt.. In Kasablanka is the biggest Mosque in the country with small museum and it is open for tourists only to 3 PM. Other Mosques in the country isn’t open for tourists. We saw also Blue town near Rif mountain, on the north of the country. It is small, popular and very nice, pleasant town in mountain. Temperatures was about 5-7 degrees in the morning and between 15-19 degrees in the afternoon. It was mostly sunny, sometimes windy, and one morning rainy, travelling between Fes and Rabat.
The day lasted eleven hours, from 8 AM.
Prices are usually same as in Europe, excpecially for tourists. Excepts in the Medina, if you ask for lower prices. The fruits are very tasty.
Marakeš has many tourist and also nice Jardin/Park Majorelle. There was trips to Atlas mountains, dessert and waterfalls. Some of us was in Tunisia and Egypt, so only 3 friends go on waterfalls and they have company with monkeys. People are mostly useful, polite and kind. But you can’t go everywhere alone… There is often police near Medina and other popular places.
Good night people!
This is nice story for the wake-up time. How many days have you been in Morocco? What about their food? There is a very nice type of tree, high and wide. Did you notice them?
Seven days and nights in Marocco.
The food is different and great if you like to try something new like kus kus, falafel, tagin meals (cooked in special clay dishes with pyramid-shaped lid) but they also have Europian meals, pastas and pizzas too… The best tagin was in Blue town, meat with raisens and pulms. Rarely you can find their arabic coffee, usualy they have aparats and Italian type of cofees.
They have baklavas and kadaif like in Turkey, too.
But they also have argan trees and argan oil and all argan cosmetics and other argan products. Their “nutella” is with nuts, cacao and argan oil.
Yes, there are very different kind of trees. But in park there are very high Palmas, huge cactus and other specific plants.
