Thank you. I started studying Arabic on Duolingo and am progressing slowly but steadily along. Being a native Hebrew speaker helps (the languages are closely related|), but it's slow going and sometimes feels a sisyphean effort. I wish I had more time to devote to this.

Shlomo Shizgal@israel @palestine @sane_guy Yes - but it’s also important to discover the world of written texts: news, poems, posts - and though oral and written (classical or standard) differ - if you work on one, then it’s easier to learn the other -
