Actually, 'There is a book and a wallet in my bag' is not only accepted, but also common in standard English because the first noun in the series is singular (although some grammar books state that this is informal English). We could use 'There are' if the first noun in the series were plural: 'There are books and a wallet in my bag'.

auroradawn, ظ is pronounced like "th" in "that" except that the back of your tongue has to be pulled back and up, towards the back of your throat. If you know Russian, it's like an exaggerated version of the "hard" (velarised) consonants.
