Regular reminder Dune was published in 1965 and was not written to reflect modern middle eastern conflicts, if anything it's loosely about the Arab Revolt during WWI drawing heavy inspiration from Sabres of Paradise and Lawrence of Arabia, with the direct intention of obliterating heroic ideas of any single charismatic leader and by extention Campbell's hero's journey and the white savior trope.
#dune#id like to point out the wide use of russian and ottoman names very few ppl seem to catch amongst the obvious arabic and islamic vocabulary#is ottoman a word in this sense? turkic is probably what im looking for

i’m glad i chose to start with norwegian i feel like that’s probably the easiest language an english speaker could learn. it’s basically english. there’s like zero conjugation. it’s definitely hard to pronounce some words though
#i also would like to improve my spanish but language apps don’t work for that because i already know all the basics#i just need to get a better vocabulary through actual interactions in spanish#anyway if i actually learn a language through apps then i’m going to try something harder next. maybe french or latin. or arabic.#i want to learn one major language from each part of the world

Alhmdulillah, I was able to study a bit using the apps I have in my cellphone. Besides Modern Standard Arabic, I also saw a bit of Levantine Arabic, it was so interesting! I learned that "Sir" is استاز and "Madam" is "ست". In shaa Allah I will keep going!

It made me tear up a bit...🥲
As somebody studying pedagogy in a broken education system, this truly makes me happy to see! Unfortunately it's so rare that we run into such great teachers (understandably of course, as most of them are as underrated as they can be, with their profession being dragged trough the mud in a million ways every day, it's no wonder they have no will to do anything better), so any example of a great teacher (in a pedagogical meaning) truly warms hearts.
Also - this is also a wonderful example of the fact that sometimes, the syllabus is the least important thing, and that the good teacher isn't always the one who knows and teaches their subject the best, but actually the one who can read his students and respond to their needs.
Ultimately, pedagogy is about that - helping your students be the best version of themselves. This quote is used too much and it truly annoys even me, but it's the best way I can describe it. Because, once you're sure that your students' cognitive functions are developed and functioning well according to their developmental stage, you need to focus on non-cognitive factors of learning process. And if those aren't satisfied, you can't expect your student to learn anything.
AND THIS GUY DID JUST THAT! He saw them being down (moderately speaking) and did the only thing he could do at that point, without messing too much with his probably stiff syllabus (which is a separate circle of hell), and that is to make their day a bit better, to give them another happy memory that they will be turning to when they are down again. And this is exactly what makes a good teacher! It's not always the knowledge of the subject (although, infinitely important factor!), but the art of pedagogy.

In which I reconsider
I think it’s probably time to admit that if I want to take a serious shot at learning Arabic I’m going to have to 1) spend time with textbooks and 2) probably suck it up and take a class. I was pleased with the way Busuu introduced the alphabet, but it went from that directly to “Okay, you know this now, and you’re ready for entire sentences in this tiny-ass font, right? Plus a bunch of symbols…

Duolingo Alternatives by Language
Disclaimer: I haven't used or tested all of them. All resources have different strengths, e.g. Drops being designed for vocabulary. They often aren't full alternatives for Duolingo or formal classes. I just wanted to compile resources for all languages on Duolingo to make the switch easier, especially for the less popular languages.
Feel free to also check out my collection of free textbooks
If you want a more detailed resource list for any of these languages (or perhaps one not listed here) you can send me an ask and I can see what I can do.

hiii im home! ^-^
#school went surprisingly well for the agonies (joints burn if moved)!#i got to rest my eyes enough to get rested (in a way) and got to talk with my friends!#also some fun lessons today if we dont count arabic (<-he understands but does not enjoy)#i do love my arabic teacher! she is very sweet. i would love the lesson too if she gave more praise but she does not so i do not#that sounds selfish typing it out. im sorry i run on praise from authoritive figures. or others in general but less so#we had math after that! we're doing roots again. this time its funkier#i quite surprisingly understood VERY well and made no mistakes in the example questions the teacher gave! which im proud of#i used to hate roots actually. i guess my teacher then didnt explain it well enough for me to understand#now that i understand them theyre really fun!#and astonishingly simple for what i thought of it beforehand. actually#oh then we had english! english my love#im sorry i love the teacher so much. one of my favorites i cannot lie#shes so sweet and gives great advice and GOD she dresses so pleasantly (usually closer to gothic blacks but sometimes more colorful)#hehe while we were writing vocabulary and i was already done writing them down and everyone else was writing she/#/sat down next to me and did a fun little quiz on me asking me to translate them all! and i did for most ^-^#some were harder to translate for their vague or multiple meanings‚ or just not crossing over well‚ but i did it!#it wasnt as much a quiz as it was a way for us both to not get bored! she is very much friendly for a teacher which i really appreciate#oh then we had health education. with can (pronounced jan btw) hoca ^-^ love him#he was very VERY rude to me yesterday and broke my poor little heart (made the entire class do as many push-ups and sits ups/#/as they can and i failed miserably (zero on both) and my muscles hurt so bad now (god help me))#but! he is very funny#most of the lesson was moreso the class having conversations with him than actually learning anything but thats for the best.#makes it more fun and easy to consume‚ really! for some reason the actual lesson stays in mind better. dont know why?#anyway! then we had geography#HATE the lesson even though i understand it cause the teacher is TERRIBLE at explaining anything. but im her favorite/#/so i cannot complain whatsoever. i know i know i shouldnt enjoy her having a bias for me. but i quite am to be straightforward#but anyway thats how it went today!#eating a hamburger right now (mom made it!) which is great.#my aches have gotten better so thats nice! my back is still on fire and i still cant flex any muscles near my stomach without pain though#♚ — rambling !

jason todd as a lover <3
sfw
a real lover boy. he's obsessed with you and everything about you, doesn't even try to hide it. everyone can see and feel how much love he has for you. physical touch is definitely one of his love languages —he always has to be touching you, whether it's a grip on your waist or a hand resting on your neck. why look for a chair when he has a perfectly good lap right there? he just wants to feel on you at all times.
rarely calls you by your first name unless he's upset. it's always beloved, baby, habib albi, rouhi, hayati, etc (i will be making a post about all the things he calls you in arabic)
quality time! yes jason loves books and you'd definitely have moments reading together but he also canonically likes punk rock and heavy metal. you two would absolutely have your own concerts in your room listening to joy division, the chameleons, killing joke, and black sabbath etc..
he will teach you arabic. he loves flirting with you in the language, watching with a smirk as you get flustered (and annoyed) cause he knows you don't understand.
(speaking of i do want to expand more on that and even do that "surprising my lover by speaking their language" trend)
c l i n g y. personal space is not in his vocabulary. he can't help that he's addicted to you.
he's one possessive mf!! (so are you) do i even need to say more? but let's not get it twisted. he's not the type to control what you wear or who you talk to or what you do —you're your own person. you can do whatever you want. he knows your his and he's yours so he's not all that worried. besides...... he can fight (and he's strapped)
spoils you to no end. will definitely just give you his card with a kiss on the cheek and tell you to treat yourself to whatever. staring at something a little too long at the store? liked an item on social media? he's already ordering it, he doesn't gaf. if you want something its yours.
late night drives on his motorcycle. you're upset? had a bad day? he's already strapping a helmet on your head, putting you on the back of his bike. “tanks all full, we can drive for as long as you want”
nsfw:
loves every position. he just wants to be with you but missionary and cowgirl are his top favorites. missionary —he loves to look your eyes as he whispers sweet and dirty words to you. watching every expression you make as he hits it deep. cowgirl —that's when its your turn. holding him close, tugging his hair, whispering whatever in his ear as you grind down, forehead touching his.
free use!! but him wanting you to use him whenever you want. sad? just want to be close to him? youre just in the mood? use him, he wants you to. whenever you're hesitant, he just reminds you that “baby im yours. whenever you want, alright. i got you. whenever or wherever you need me"
he is a certified munch. gets off just getting you off. loves when you tug his hair pulling him closer. doesn't even want anything in return, he just wants to taste you. he's a messy eater
praise kink praise kink!!! both ways. wants you tell him how good it feels, will also tell you how good you make him feel.
loves when you act bratty cause he knows you just want him to be rough and fuck the attitude out of you.
a moaner and a talker! will talk in arabic without realizing it sometimes. "take it so well baby" "look at me baby, that's it" "pussy feels so fucking good"

Just casually Collecting things is fun. I don’t need to complete any sets, except the set of things that catch my eye.
Random coins people have given me over the years from different places and times, little people and animal figurines and toy cars I can put in my nativity scene, books, my bordering on the obscene amount of plush animals, stories people tell me, both true and not, worlds and characters both my own and that belong to others, random words and phrases from different languages.
At this point I think I have a collection of collections
#I know the word for cat in seven languages and how to say hello in seven languages but they’re not all the same languages#And in most of those languages cat and/or hello is a significant portion of my vocabulary#For example I could theoretically get by in an arabic-speaking country with just ‘hello’ ‘thank you’ ‘no’ and ‘god’ but I wouldn’t want to#and I certainly wouldn’t be able to do anything in China since literally the only Mandarin word I know is ‘mao’ cat
