Numbers, time, and money are part of almost every daily conversation in Saudi Arabia. You need them when asking for prices, paying in shops, booking appointments, checking the time, planning with someone, arranging transportation, or understanding dates and schedules. This chapter helps you deal with these practical details in real life. You do not need to learn numbers only as a list. You need to use them in real situations. In this chapter, you will learn how to count, ask about prices, understand amounts, react to expensive or cheap prices, pay by cash or card, ask about installments, talk about time, mention dates, and schedule plans clearly. You’ll learn how to say things like: “How much is this?” “That is expensive.” “I’ll pay by card.” “Do you have change?” “What time is it?” “Today or tomorrow?” “When is the appointment?” “Can we change the time?” These phrases help you avoid confusion and manage daily life with more confidence. Practice the numbers slowly, listen to the audio, and repeat the phrases until they feel natural. Yalla, let’s master the everyday details.
