Guide: how to use the workbook
A complete guide, in a coffee-shop example. Watch it once fully, then jump to the part you need.
The guide comes in two parts — pick one. The video is 21 minutes 20 seconds, with chapters, English and Arabic narration, and English and Arabic subtitles. The slides are the same guide as 16 slides, for a business owner to read through.
The video follows the page language: English here plays the English narration. Switch the language above to العربية to hear it in Arabic — it keeps your place. Both versions are also available to download below.
