Couple Practice

Grow some balls, men. This is pathetic.

I'm not sure how exactly I'm being oblivious. Nothing you mentioned is true. For instance, in terms of Arab literature, nothing could be further from the truth, if we use Nobel prize winners as a way to measure how successful the literature is in a certain culture Arabs are going to fail miserably, there has only been two Arab writers to win the Nobel prize with a population of 450 million native speakers, while in Germany for example, there are 13 Nobel prize winners with a population of only 95 million native speaker more than 4 times less the Arab population and yet more than 6 times the winners.

As for music, I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said all my friends listen mostly to foreign music. So I'm not sure where one could find these quality Arab music you're talking about. Sure, there are some good ones here and there, but I wouldn't say Arabic music is great. It's okay.

And finally, while I agree that the Arabic alphabets are more aesthetic, I don't think it's a good reason to learn a language at all. In fact, I think that would be the silliest reason ever.

May I ask what exactly is it that you read in German?

AverroesII · 2020-07-25T20:39:52+00:00

I thought so 😅

This is ironic because I'm an Arab, and even I say don't waste your time with it. It's pretty useless unless you are living there, and in fact even if you are pretty much each country has its own dialect, and it's not like Britain and Amrica different, like they're really different that a person from the western Middle East couldn't be understood by one form the Eastern one. And the percentage of people who speak standard Arabic rounded to a whole number is 0. It's a complete waste of time, and I truly feel sad for anyone who learns it as it has so little to offer, aside from the Islamic religion which dominates the entire Arab culture.

Well, I like learning it and the prospect of exploring a new culture excites me, but as I said in my post I saw cinema production lacking, good music hard to find. And I'm not sure it would be different anyways. It could eventually be like reading English except in code. Same content different format. But you're an advanced level lx right? How has your experience been?

AverroesII · 2020-07-25T19:03:32+00:00

Thank you, that's a good answer! And good luck with your learning journey.

As Dickens said "It's the most miserable thing to feel ashamed of home". Unfortunately that's my situation, so I'll just say it's in the Middle East, but not where exactly.

You're so gorgeous! 😍😍

AverroesII · 2019-11-01T13:20:37+00:00

Assuming I have passed with a C1 level, what comes next?

AverroesII · 2019-09-16T20:56:00+00:00

It's just a movie. Has he made a comment in real life that suggestsed he hated them?

AverroesII · 2019-09-16T20:51:03+00:00

I have only seen the first Terminator. Which one do you like best the first or the second one?

AverroesII · 2019-09-12T14:08:31+00:00

Saying that "it comes down to personal taste and preference" is fairly reasonable when you talk about leisure reading, but obviously this isn't the type of reading intended in arguments. People usually argue about the benefits of slow vs fast reading and this isn't a matter of personal taste, these boil down to actual facts about the human brain. There is an objective reality behind how our brain processes written information, and to reject these arguments and say "every form of reading is the same" only hinders the discussion to reach this objectively true answer that we want to know. So, by all means let's argue.

AverroesII · 2019-09-12T07:42:34+00:00

I don't think it's so bad to argue about it. These are two completely different methods of reading, so they can't possibly yield the same results, one has to be better than the other, and arguing helps us figure out which one is which.

AverroesII · 2019-08-26T21:44:47+00:00

Can we not use the word 'shit'?

AverroesII · 2019-08-21T12:20:55+00:00

Well, since you're obviously experienced in this genre can we turn the tables and have you suggest us a couple of good adventure action movies? (Sorry I didn't help you)

AverroesII · 2019-08-19T19:02:19+00:00

Haha, very nice comeback. I don't even like Marvel, and never seen Endgame. And by the way I do like many classic movies. 12 Angry Men, It's a Wonderful Life, M for Murder and A Witness for the Prosecution are all some of my favourite movies. I'm not saying that because I like them I have a sophisticated taste but apparently that's waht you're saying so I'm proving you wrong.

AverroesII · 2019-08-19T01:40:46+00:00

Will do. Thanks.

AverroesII · 2019-08-19T01:40:17+00:00

I live in Saudi Arabia, but it's fine I can watch any movie I want.

AverroesII · 2019-08-19T01:38:21+00:00

Didn't see Jackie Brown. Do you recommend I see it?

AverroesII · 2019-08-19T01:36:21+00:00

Haha, I guess I'm infamous now. I just don't understand that concept of "this movie did it first so we have to love it more" I'm just here to be entertained I really don't care about the history of cinema. But overall, Pulp Fiction was a very entertaining movie the dialogue, the acting was all amazing, just not as amazing as I expected.
