Hi, I'm Oli from England, and I'm learning Arabic and German so that I can join the 60% of the world who speak more than just one language! I work in energy renewables, play guitar and officiate roller derby in my spare time. :-) I enjoy helping people out with their English, and especially talking about different British accents, idioms and colloquialisms.

    "Meine Freundin"? Ich habe eine Frage: Wie würde ich beschreiben wann ich bin nicht verheiratet, aber ich lebe mit eine dame? Sie ist nicht meine 'Frau', aber sie ist meine...was? Etwas gleich die englische Wörter "partner" oder "significant other". (Oder vielleicht "Leben in Sünde?" ;-) )

    I've been playing guitar for about 15 years, and now I am teaching my daughter.

    You mean because of how English goes left to right and Arabic right to left?  I know what you mean.  By far the best work-around is to just hit carriage return and go down to the next line when you're switching from one to the other.

     

    To be honest my big issue on iTalki is that arabic script is so minutely small compared to Latin alphabet!  Very difficult to read.

    Does anybody know this Arabic proverb? I came across this supposed Arabic proverb, but I only have it in English. Does anybody recognise it, and happen to know what the original Arabic is? "When danger approaches, sing to it" With Google's help I came up with this, but I really don't trust it: عندما يقترب الخطر، والغناء له

    Please correct these sentences

    1. I recall Ann's cry before she fainted"
    2. He will cry and whine if I take his toy back.
    3. It was her curse to be alone during all her life. <-- Good, or maybe "Loneliness was her life-long curse"
    4. The floor was rough on Tom's bare feet.
    5. Ann rushed downstairs clinging to the handrail.   
    6. I saw the passage leading from the side room
    7. I must warn you, he is stubborn; not a decent man. 
    8. Did you hire her? No, I refused her, because she is absent-minded and she is distracted by everything.   <--- Perfect
    9. Who did eat icicle yesterday? So you had to endure your sore throat and drinking a disgusting cure. <---  Unsure what is meant, is it maybe something like, "He who ate an icicle yesterday, will have to endure a sore throat and a disgusting medicine today".
    10. I wish prosperity of your family. Don't pay attention on temporary difficulties.  <--- This is fine, I just removed the 'a' after 'wish'
