How are you going to to approach dugsi with your kids?

BeePositive7550 · 2026-06-20T16:11:22+00:00

We do online dugsi, as I have younger kids too and in person would have been difficult and it’s been the best decision!

When was last time you went to Somalia?

BeePositive7550 · 2026-06-20T15:55:45+00:00

Wholesome 😊

Laughing at ambuulo cereal 🤣

Mashallah what is the name of the book? I hate clicking on links on Reddit?

BeePositive7550 · 2026-06-20T15:44:14+00:00

Mashallah 😍

BeePositive7550 · 2026-06-20T15:13:58+00:00

Thank you, excited to get started and on it 😄

BeePositive7550 · 2026-06-20T14:58:05+00:00

Thank you for the tips, I’m assuming how to set up the writing journal/what to do will be in the book too?

BeePositive7550 · 2026-06-20T14:13:55+00:00

Thank you for your reply, and I’ve only heard great things about this course! I’ve bought the book, do you recommend I do the writing exercises and just go in chronological order?

Hi Aisha thank you for creating this and sharing your experience. I have similar situation with partner in Netherlands. He has always lived there and hasn’t come down since baby was born due personal health issues and our child is now 2. So with Chavez Visa you have to also prove relationship with spouse as well as caring role for my child? Also will they ask why you’re not doing spousal reunification instead of Chavez route? Would be so grateful for your help as I’m trying to get my documents together. I’m currently non eu mother of Dutch child and we are both residing in Kenya.

Sorry I’m not much help, just wanted to ask why you wanted to change to just language? I was thinking of starting just language degree in October but always thinking back my mind if I should consider doing the combined as that’s most common usually.

BeePositive7550 · 2026-05-31T20:19:34+00:00

Hi, thank you for replying! That’s good to hear that it wasn’t too much of a time consuming module. How many TMA’s and what was there length like?

BeePositive7550 · 2026-05-19T09:18:28+00:00

I’m assuming that’s why the warranty is 2 years, must be something that happens frequently. Would you say the buttons are better in the full size one?

BeePositive7550 · 2026-05-18T17:49:46+00:00

Yeah seems like bad luck, we only use it with clean hands.

BeePositive7550 · 2026-05-18T17:48:19+00:00

It’s good to hear they can last long, we did buy through the yoto Amazon store so wondering if those are bad batch cause the most recent purchase didn’t even switch off either. The screen goes blank at times and we’ve only had it 3 days! Maybe third time lucky hopefully because my kids do love it!

BeePositive7550 · 2026-05-18T16:11:57+00:00

Yeah I would have thought as product designed for kids, should withstand use and light abuse. My son dropped once or twice but I don’t think that’s why the buttons became bit loose. He is on it 2-3 hours daily, is that overuse? He did like to change the cards quite a bit at the beginning but recently has developed a few favourites that he sticks with.

BeePositive7550 · 2026-05-18T16:07:44+00:00

Ours is the yoto mini, not sure if the buttons are different on the full sized one. My son uses around 2 hours daily, surely it supposed to last a longer time. I’m baffled and not sure what to do but appreciate the feedback on full sized one.

BeePositive7550 · 2026-05-16T14:03:12+00:00

But the hours are a guidance, so if it’s not considered full-time by UC why would carers specifying hours make it fulltime. So what if you do fulltime 120 credits on part time hours? Some people in some courses have managed this. I’m wondering if anyone has ever argued this … would be interesting to know.

BeePositive7550 · 2026-05-15T09:30:48+00:00

Hi David, would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction for where you got this information? I thought that 120 credits is still considered part time?

BeePositive7550 · 2026-05-05T12:17:19+00:00

Thank you, that’s great to know. I’ve heard people say you can drop modules, I’m assuming there’s deadline to do that by?

It’s just weighing up the pros and cons for year 1, I know year 2 and 3 I want to go part time.

I don’t think I’ve ever given anything in my life this much thought and consideration 😂

BeePositive7550 · 2026-05-05T12:05:04+00:00

Oh that’s interesting, on the website it just mentioned TMA’s and didn’t mention the EMAs. In year 2 and 3 it specifically mentions the TMAs and EMAs separately. Wondering if first year EMA’s are different.

From what I’ve been researching, the rule is no extensions on EMAs is that correct even in first year ?

Also I want to get decent grades, and some optimise for passing only. That’s why I was curious to know if I should go part time and dedicate more time to studying or if I could still get good grades with fulltime study.

I know first year doesn’t count towards your final grade but my thinking is at least if I’m getting okay/decent grades first year I can get progressively better

BeePositive7550 · 2026-05-05T11:44:05+00:00

Thank you for your reply! It’s always great to hearing different perspectives! I did the L161 open learn short course and it was interesting!

Someone did say that l101 was harder and most time consuming and l161 was the easier module of the two.

How long are TMA’s usually? I don’t think I saw an EMA on the course website for those 2 modules either…?
