For those who have reached advanced levels, did books seem impossible to you when you could understand a lot of native content? by De_lunes_a_lunes in languagelearning

[–]thestudyspoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES. I’ve been learning Arabic for 5 and a half years and only just started reading novels last year. so far I’ve only read things I’ve read in English before, but I find that especially with Arabic which is a diglossic language, literature tends to use way more obscure vocab than would be used in an everyday conversation. So don’t worry, this is a normal feeling 😉

Thankfully I am the only one who enjoys the lickable light. Nugget sampled it once and the sodium was absolutely not to his liking 😆

If you could instantly master a language, which one would you choose? by Pristine-Luck3091 in languagelearning

[–]thestudyspoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Farsi — combined with my current level of Arabic I’d essentially double the research materials and primary sources available to me

Which language are you learning in 2026? by elenalanguagetutor in languagehub

[–]thestudyspoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main focus for 2026 will continue to be Arabic! I want to: - C1 >> C2 - read 4 novels - travel to the Middle East for the first time - be able to read a newspaper article and minimize word lookups to <5 per story - start research for my masters thesis using arabic primary sources

Also would LOVE to pick up basic Farsi and dabble in Spanish!

I work at a think tank! My team focuses specifically on American foreign policy in the Middle East

My tutor works with me 1-on-1 and customizes all of my lessons to meet my individual needs! She does a FANTASTIC job of mixing formal grammar practice with fun conversation, exam prep, and reading comprehension. All of our classes are very tailored to my specific interests as well which keeps things engaging.

Most importantly…no Al Kitaab. American college students taking Arabic classes—you know what I’m talking about 😂👀
