Speaking

How would you complete the following tasks in Arabic? Use "Voice Board" in Wimba to record your audio for each task. Refer to the "Communication Tools" section of the Technical Requirements page for additional instructions on using Wimba. Label your responses carefully so your instructor can find them easily.
