Say What?
Sometimes, I listen to Al-Jazeera or other Arabic media to practice my Arabic skills. They have admittedly dwindled considerably since I stopped using them. Sometimes, to verify the accuracy of my understanding, I will listen to something that has English subtitles. One of my favorite sites for this is MEMRI TV. Today, I was watching and ran across this young lady doing an editorial for Hamas TV. I get fired up watching how Hamas exploits and brainwashes their children (it truly is dispicable). So, I decided to give it a listen.
Imagine my confusion when I couldn’t understand a damn word of Arabic that this child was saying…it truly was baffling.
Imagine my confusion when I realized that she was speaking English and I STILL couldn’t understand a damn word she was saying…
The Commuter
I read through there about every other day – some okay stuff, some interesting stuff and some real shit all in one….totally expected too. This clip was interesting however – sounds like some of my phone calls so I understood every word. lol.
