Why do you think everyone should learn a language?

[shahd ahmed @linguastudies]

@roseche_rry I hope to make one soon but I'm very blocked this summer idk why😕

[shahd ahmed @linguastudies]

@kubacki__ كتير حلو استمر 👏🏻

[shahd ahmed @linguastudies]

@kubacki__ Yes, we speak arabic of course but all business terminologies in English and it will sound wired if you use this terms in Arabic 😂.. recently we've a version of shark tank i recommend it to u if u are interested in Egyptian dialect and it's Avaliable on ig and youtube as well

[shahd ahmed @linguastudies]

@kubacki__ No, we adapt how some letters are pronounced for sure but we can't change our accent so even someone listened An Egyptian speaking MSA he'll recognise his Nationality from his accent 😅

[shahd ahmed @linguastudies]

@kubacki__ I'm a student at management sciences faculty and I study all course in English and in the work field I've privilege on those who studied it in Arabic becuase mainly all companies use English in their daily work

[shahd ahmed @linguastudies]

@kubacki__ Sad to admit this but it's true! In Egypt for example 95% of universities use English only and there are many faculties that use English all-over the country 🇪🇬 as medical faculties for example..

[shahd ahmed @linguastudies]

@kubacki__ For example if we wanted to say جمل means camel we pronounce it as /g/ sound as you mentioned but most dialects and MSA while be pronounced as /j/ sound "jaml"

[shahd ahmed @linguastudies]

@kubacki__ I'm an Egyptian.. idk what busuu uses but side note take care of ج pronunciation cuz we pronounce it very differently from MSA and even other dialects 😅

[shahd ahmed @linguastudies]

@spraklust I think it's a very good book for someone who doesn't know anything about learning a lang but for someone who go through this process before most of the book is repeated but i don't deny i collected some new resources tho 💁‍♀️

[shahd ahmed @linguastudies]

I'm know reading this book and I've mixing feeling towards it 🙄
