I always loved the phrase bifaDlallah ("by the grace of God). It's much more fun to say! |

Black south Africans are cowards and scared as F#kk off white people. I don't blame them , those afrikaaners are hard bastards. They'd never lay a hand on a white guy no matter what you did. We trained them good. |

Actually, if you have a good Arabic teacher, the teacher can demystify the language, and I can do that since my first language is English, and I have been around languages all my life, so I can figure out shortcuts.
I think it is hard for many speakers of Arabic to teach Arabic well.
I think that is true of most people who teach language. They have to be able to think like the person studying that language and try to see how a person from the other language sees the target language. That can be a problem. For example, some Koreans who want to teach us Korean, can overwhelm us. |
