Maybe I should try to follow one of these books you suggested?

Because I've been avoiding listening to original Arabic videos all the time, I'm not very good at listening comprehension, and my vocabulary is not very large, so I would have problems understanding them. Maybe you can write short summaries for the videos that you post so we can follow easier? Or maybe you can make it a challenge for us, so that we have to write summaries? I don't know, what do others say?

The guest agrees, saying he saw things he can't even describe (I think), saw things that weren't there. He says you have to control your mind, to return to reality...some people can die while hallucinating...then he swears that there was one person on the mountain, David, who tells a tough story: he says he saw Starbucks, "oh my God, Starbucks!", and went [towards it, I assume].

I've tried to transcribe a short piece between 1:01 and 1:21:
يبدأ اليوم كل صباح بالأستيقاظ في الساعة السادسة صباحا
ثم اخرج و اتفقد منحل. و مع انتجهم(?) من عسل
بعدها اذهب الى ? لاتفقد المحصول
في نهاية اليوم بعد العمل اذهب للقاء اصدقائي لنقضي معهم بعد الوقت
Can you guys please fix it?
ِAlso, in the first line of my transcript, why does he say يبدأ اليومِ with the kasra ending on اليوم? Isn't it supposed to be the nominative case, i.e. the day starts?

I also think they say معا, not معهم
