I downloaded Hello Talk again after years and I realized some interesting things:

- I miss how the app was ten years ago. You could change the language you wanted to learn freely and chat with anyone. Now they have new resources but it's quite expensive 🥲.

- I am way more awkward and sometimes don't even have patience to engage in conversations with strangers.

- Still, I have to talk with many people to improve my Arabic. Please send help.

I had just finished my extra classes at university when me and my instructor saw some language dictionaries on a table and I found this book! It contains a lot of informations on the Arabic language and even some grammatical explainings in portuguese. Thanks a lot, Professor Jamil Safady 😃❤.

My Arabic pronunciation is awful, ESPECIALLY with Shaddah and long vowels. I will try to study a bit before going to bed ان شاءالله.

I had a nice lecture by a Polish teacher at university. A short course on Neurolinguistics and got some nice tips on language learning ^^ It was nice الحمدلله.

Since it's getting hot recently, why not learn some Arabic vocabulary about it?

الطقس حار اليوم - O tempo está quente hoje

حار - Calor/Quente

مُشْمِس - Ensolarado

صَيف - Verão

In Levantine Arabic:

كتير شوب - Muito calor

Curious coincidence:

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Emyr - male name, means "a king", "a ruler";

🇸🇦 أمير [ʔaˈmiːr] - a male king, ruler, monarch, aristocrat, etc.;

These words aren't cognates or loanwords. "Emyr" came from Latin "imperium" (Latin "imperō" - PIE "*per-") and "amir" came from old Arabic "-m-r".

Today was a good day, الحمدلله. I ended up not going to university and listened to some Arabic audios without getting nervous, finished one more lesson on Mango and did some flashcards using the vocabulary from Al Kitaab. I hope I am not too tired on Sunday to study better, ان شاءالله.

Arabic word I came across sometimes and finally know the meaning:

كُنتُ

Which means I was (Eu era/Eu estava in Brazilian Portuguese).

Example from the video: كُنتُ في مِصرَ (I was in Egypt/Eu estava no Egito).

مع السلامة

Fun phrase :) “ مع السلامة “ is something one says to someone who is leaving and it translates to “be safe”

مع means “with” and السلامة means “safety”

Literal meaning is “with the safety” or “be safe”

My first post from myself :) Progress is good. Hopefully a cool sentence coming soon!

Funny how when you are struggling or getting too comfortable in your target language, others become suddenly so interesting... I had Arabic class yesterday and watched a Japanese live on Tik Tok at night lol

Alhmdulillah, I was able to study a bit using the apps I have in my cellphone. Besides Modern Standard Arabic, I also saw a bit of Levantine Arabic, it was so interesting! I learned that "Sir" is استاز and "Madam" is "ست". In shaa Allah I will keep going!

I need to get my act together and study Arabic. Urgently.
