Arabic day 2

I got linguaphone Arabic today and I am listening to it. I am aiming at using as many resources as possible. I am going to get Assimil and listen to that as that is supposed to be the best possible resource. Throughout my career as a linguist I have focused on the written language, and I am focusing on the oral and aural aspects now.

Learning Arabic

I am learning Arabic. I have taken a break from actually studying any foreign languages after I completed my training with Alexandre Coutu who is one of the most senior linguists in Canada last year. My proudest achievements in linguistics are passing tests with translation agencies and copywriting my own language learning tools. As I have alluded to before, the academic system diminished a great deal of my interest in foreign languages as I felt the whole thing screwed me over. Over the next few days I am planning on reading an Arabic grammar book and forming my study plan. I am aiming at downloading massive amounts of Arabic audio files and listening to them on my mp3 player. Things to do today: Fix my laptop Read several articles on Arabic Grammar Download freely available Mp3 files on English to Arabic
