البحر

!Welcome to BBCe

This week the programme is all about the sea البحر and the seaside شاطئ البحر.

We ask people in London and Cairo 'Do you have any happy memories of the sea?' هل لديكم ذكريات سعيدة على شاطئ البحر؟

Here are some of the answers we got:

It reminds me of my childhood.
In the night I just talk to the sea. I love the sea.
I met my wife in Alexandria!

Of course people might have unhappy memories.

The sea's not really been a positive force تأثير إيجابي in my life. But I have sad memories, I was about to die in the sea and I was saved.

Abigail also tells Karim about some common English phrases that were originally used at sea. Listen to the audio to find out what 'all at sea', 'high and dry' and 'to learn the ropes' mean now, and what they meant originally.

Have you got any happy memories of the sea? Write to us in English!
