how did you go about learning german? was any of it self-study or did you go straight to classes? and how important do you think living there has been to your learning journey?

i did A1 german classes in university which gave me a really good foundation. i would say that if you start learning a language, it would be good to invest in getting a teacher and going to a good course for it because a good foundation in the language can really guide you with learning the more complex and advanced aspects of said language. after that i hadn’t learned german for about 2 years and then covid hit, & due to the german classes in bahrain being shit and useless waste of money in my experience (& online classes being so expensive), i relied on reading basic stuff in german, using german songs & tv shows & movies as ways to learn bits of the language here & there. it mainly helped familiarise me with the language, improve my pronunciation, and learn a handful of words. i also did duolingo on the side which imo is mostly good for maintaining your language level and learning some new words and practicing your grammar, tho generally i think the stuff on there is pretty low-level stuff that i can complete with ease now (and just as a note, my german is far from perfect yet it’s quite easy for me so i tend to finish all the lessons perfectly now. it’s more helpful for people between A1-low B2 imo, if you’re in C1 it might be too easy but it doesn’t harm to practice using it). i also use an app called drops which reaaaaally helps me with getting a larger vocabulary, but it’s limited to 5 mins per day unless you pay which is annoying. i tried lingoda for a short time (free trial hehe) but i personally didn’t like it much since it’s not rly structured and people can sign into classes in any level they want, regardless of their own language level (my gf liked it tho and said it can be worth the money & u can find some good quality classes in there). besides that, i have taken online classes in german up until the B1 level, and at B1 i moved to germany and started physical intensive classes. i would highly recommend the intensive daily classes for learning the language bc 1. you learn faster 2. you’re practicing the language daily. also always do the hw provided bc it helps you practice at home + rely less on the teacher and learn from your mistakes.

moving to germany definitely helped with improving my language level and practicing my language. i live in a city where english is quite commonly spoken BUT i do encounter grumpy germans that refuse to speak english every once in a while. + i live in a working class area so people here generally only speak arabic (lots of refugees where i live) or turkish or german which is also great at forcing me to speak in german (arabic is often easier but sometimes the men harass me when they realise im arab lol so honestly german is safer for me). ordering food is one of the things i am rly good at doing in german now bc of how often i have to do it in german. also discussing my internet connection issues bc for some reason no one in the customer support of our internet service provider speaks english. also public transportation. besides that, i recall how helpful it was seeing signs in german all around bc it helped teach me terms that were almost never mentioned in german classes. visiting museums and getting tours and going to events are also all helpful bc there’s a lot of german in those settings. so id say that yeah, living in germany was a great help in learning german. my gf’s german is really good bc she learned it while doing an exchange program in germany & she became more or less fluent through speaking to germans at parties in german all the time. it’s rly rly good practice and also helps build a good foundation + improve your confidence when speaking the language. if i had stayed in bahrain, i wouldn’t feel confident to have even the most basic conversations i think but living here and seeing germans act shocked when i tell them i was A2 one year ago rly helped make me more confident and pushed me to try talking in german over defaulting to english/arabic. i highly recommend taking this kind of path if you have the means to do so. also id advise ensuring that whichever language school or course you choose is of decent / high quality bc some are just garbage and a waste of money.

Can I ask what’s Saudi and Bahrain’s relationship like considering they’ed be uncle and niece? You mentioned once or twice that Bahrain’s mother didn’t like Saudi or other people in general that much and I was just wondering about it, seems like it’d be an interesting relationship y’know?

They certainly do have a very interesting relationship! Gosh.... you're right Saudi is technically her uncle, even if he is significantly younger than Bahrain's mother LOL

They have a... complicated relationship? Due to the sensitive nature of the irl Saudi-Arabia-Bahrain relationship, I'm not gonna get into the nitty gritty details, but suffice it to say, Saudi Arabia sees Bahrain as his responsibility and a lot of what she is able to do hinges on his approval or at least, absence of outright rejection. Otherwise though, Saudi most lets her keep to herself as long as she doesn't cause trouble (like turning towards Iran) and it is his money that she uses to buy games and yaoi with 😂 they don't really talk about Bahrain's mother or Saudi Arabia's relationship with her, cuz Saudi Arabia purposefully keeps that information away from her, and because he's a repressed mfer who never talks about anything that makes him feel vulnerable ever ™️

In the AU where Hejaz is still alive, Hejaz frequently visits Bahrain on the weekend to do illicit activities and hookup with Russian prostitutes and everytime Saudi Arabia has to cross the bridge to come drag him back home and Bahrain watches them like 👁️👄👁️

Former ambassador honors Bush's legacy

LAKEWOOD, Colo. — In the coming days, people from all over the world will be in Washington to remember our 41st president, including a former ambassador to Bahrain from Colorado, who worked for President Bush.

Denver7 spoke to him about Bush's life, legacy and his impact on American politics.

For former U.S. ambassador to Bahrain, Sam Zakhem, the passing of his old boss President George H.W. Bush brings memories covering the walls of his office, rushing back.

"I have a picture with him. He’s listening with a smile and who am I sitting with the President of the United States. What a precious human being he was," recalled Zakhem.

Zakhem worked as an ambassador for 41 during major milestones, helping gather support for Bush's policies like stopping the threat of Saddam Hussein.

"He drew a line in the sand and said this aggression will not stand. Knowing what I knew about the region, he asked me to help,” said Zakhem.

It led to the liberation of Kuwait, which Zakhem believes was H.W.’s greatest achievement. Ten years later, it reunited them on a trip back commemorating its anniversary. Zakhem brought his son and wife along.

"She was so proud that George H. W. Bush kissed her and hugged her," said Zakhem.

He said the late president taught us an important lesson that proves most useful now.

"He did not feel like his way was the only way. He worked with both sides of the aisle in Congress," he said.

Zakhem hopes Bush's death will reunite the country.

"He was such a good man, and it was a great source of pride to have known him, to have been in his company. A great man."

US official: Egypt is Washington’s key non-NATO ally

An official source at the US State Department told Amwal Al Ghad on Thursday that the US relations with Egypt are strategic, pointing out that Egypt is "a US major non-NATO ally." The statements were made on the sidelines of the Door-Knocking delegation’s meetings in Washington, organised by the American Chamber of Commerce in Cairo. The source stressed the keenness of the US administration to build strong relations with Cairo during the coming period, in light of the great role played by Egypt in various issues in the Middle East region. Major non-NATO ally (MNNA) is a designation given by the United States government to close allies who have strategic working relationships with U.S. Armed Forces but are not members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). The MNNA State receives a variety of military and financial advantages which cannot be obtained by that otherwise are not obtainable by non-NATO countries. Egypt is one of the recipients of US military and financial aid. Egypt receives about $1.5bn annually. This aid is used to upgrade the armament of the Egyptian army, as well as to implement some programmes that support the economy and society. In addition to Egypt, the following countries were designated as major non-NATO allies: Australia, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Jordan, New Zealand, Argentina, Bahrain, Philippines, Thailand, Kuwait, Morocco, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Tunisia. Egypt has received this title since 1989 under the reign of former US President George HW Bush. The description of the US administration to Egypt has changed from the ally to partner during the past years and specifically since 2011, and the political transformations witnessed by Egypt during that period. http://dlvr.it/P4fdyX
