Habibti Driver (NHB Modern Plays)

Shamia Chalabi, Sarah Henley

Beschreibung

Meet Ashraf and his 'Habibti' – his daughter Shazia. He's an Egyptian, Muslim taxi driver; she's half-Egyptian, half-Wiganese, and more interested in the last call at the bar than the call to prayer.
Their relationship is put to the test when Ashraf introduces Shazia to his new Egyptian bride, whilst she is attempting to break the news of her own secret engagement. In Ashraf's taxi they must navigate driving lessons, sing karaoke and explore whether, despite their differences, family can win out regardless.
Habibti Driver is a heartwarming and hilarious play, based on Shamia Chalabi's real-life experiences and co-written with Sarah Henley, exploring the clashes, compromises and comedy that come with living in a mixed-culture family in today's Britain.
First performed in an earlier version – Burkas and Bacon Butties – at the VAULT Festival, London, this revised, full-length version premiered at the Octagon Theatre Bolton in April 2022, co-produced with Tara Finney Productions.

Verfügbar seit: 28.04.2022.

Kevin Goes to Japan 3 - Stories...

Miwako Kiritani

Thank you for purchasing my book, "Kevin Goes to Japan 3: Stories for Japanese Learners, JLPT N5 to N1." Some of them would realize that the range of the level is more comprehensive than before. Because this book is just before the last book, I wanted to focus on telling the story. Therefore, some Japanese sentences would be complicated for early learners. However, reading many books is good practice to understand the language, and you need to have the skill to guess unknown words by seeing the context. The word lists are more than Kevin 2, showing many vocabularies, and I keep writing topics from each chapter.
But 15 JLPT sample questions come with each chapter, a total of 180 questions for N5 to N3. I believe that advanced learners need to read books that understand more natural Japanese. Instead of sample questions, please try to use expressions you can find a list, "Miscellaneous (Idioms, expressions, proverbs, etc.)."
Tomoko teaches Kevin Kanji radical that Japanese language questions include in this book in this story. JLPT wouldn't ask radical, but if you know the basic rules, it helps to give extra knowledge about this language and its origins.
In the story, Kevin wants Yukio to fall in love with Tomoko, and you can see how his love strategy works. However, the day Kevin's working holiday visa expires is coming, and he and Yumiko's relationship will be swirled.
I hope you enjoy this story as a bilingual novel as well.
