La vision que j'ai eu aujourd'hui Aujourd'hui j'étais dans McDonald's en lisant ma Bible quand j'ai eu une vision. Je m'ai vu en Iran, dans le désert. Il était l'hiver. Il y avait un vent froid soufflant sur ma visage. C'était refraîchissant. Il faisait soleil. Le soleil était un peu au-dessus de l'horizon, quand la lumière du soleil est dorée et belle. Je ne sais pas s'il était le matin alors que le soleil se levait, ou s'il était le soir alors que le soleil se couchait. Mais dans cette vision je me suis senti libre. La lumière du soleil tellement dorée représante l'espoir et le bonheur pour moi. Le vent représente la liberté. Après ça, j'ai vu un vent fait de feu. Le vent se soufflait sur la face du sol. Le vent fait de feu représente le Saint Ésprit. J'ai prié a Dieu et lui ai demandé qu'est-ce que la vision signifie, mais je ne suis pas sûr.

Γειά σος Γειά σας. Με λένε Brian. Eίμαι από την Αμερική. Μένω στα Νότια Καρολίνα. Θέλω να μαθαίνω τα ελληνικά. Νομίζω που τα ελληνικά είναι μία πολύ ωραία γλωσσα. Ελπίζω να μπορώ να κάνω φίλου από την Ελλάδα. Τα λέμε!

Phrasebook for Afghani Refugee Children Hello! My friend is a first grade teacher (7 year old children). She has some immigrant children from Afghanistan in her class, and wants some simple phrases to communicate with them. Is there a native Pashto speaker, or someone who knows Pashto, who can translate these phrases for me? If you write them in Arabic letters, please also include Latin letters so I know how to pronounce it! I can read the Arabic script and pronounce Pashto words. To be honest, I don't know if these children speak Northern (Hard) Pashto or Southern (Soft) Pashto (there are probably speakers of both in my friend's school). Also, I know practically nothing about Pashto dialects. My (uneducated) guess is that Standard Northern Pashto would be ok...however, do you think 6 or 7 year old children could understand Standard Northern (Hard) Pashto, and not just their native dialect?

Phrasebook for Refugee Children Hello! My friend is a first grade teacher (7 year old children). She has some immigrant children from Syria in her class, and wants some simple phrases to communicate with them. Is there a Syrian speaker, or someone who knows Syrian Arabic, who can translate these phrases for me into عامية? You can write them in Arabic script or in Latin letters(Arabish). (Please include Harakat if you write in Arabic script! If you write them in both, it's even better!) I can read the Arabic script and pronounce Arabic words. Please, these children are too young to speak FusHa. However, if you think 6 and 7 year old children understand some FusHa, please correct me in a message below.
