the two besides English!!!

- Due to conflict, a lot of people came to other countries from their homeland. These languages are both Slavic.

- There’s a city in the USA full of people who speak this language but if I say what, it will probably give it away and I also live near this city but not in it…

Discussion Fair warning: Outlook is phasing out "of."

Post image
5 Upvotes

As though we needed MORE reasons to hate Outlook. (Users know.)

Frustration edit: I wrote a quick example sentence during my lunch at work, including a second "of" which I'll admit sounds a little awkward in context.

But Outlook suggests this EVERY TIME. It could say "Look at all of those chickens." 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆 Full stop. Still tries to change EVERY instance of "all of" to "all," context notwithstanding.

ذکرِ عدل و دادِ پادشاه

سپاس و ستایش مر خداوندی را سزاست که آفتابِ دولت را بر افقِ جهان افروخت و سایۀ عنایت خویش بر سرِ بندگان گسترد. در روزگارِ فرخندۀ پادشاهی، بنیادِ عدل و داد استوار گشت و رعایا در پرتوِ امن و امان به آسایش و آرامش روزگار گذراندند. فرمانِ همایون چون خورشیدِ جهان‌تاب بر آفاقِ ممالک تابید و نامِ شهریار به نیک‌نامی در صحایفِ ایام ثبت گردید.

Video I turned Arabic roots into a slot machine-style learning game

Hi everyone!

I'm Alaa, an Arabic language educator, and I've been working on a personal project called Rooto.

I've noticed that Arabic learners often struggle with memorizing vocabulary without understanding how words are connected through roots and patterns.

So I created Rooto, an interactive web app inspired by a slot machine. With every spin, you discover an Arabic root, a word pattern, a derived word, its English meaning, and an example sentence showing how the word is used in context.

The idea is to make learning Arabic a little more playful and engaging!

Here's a quick video of how it works.

Try it here: https://rooto.app

I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

Discussion J’ai créé Jogolinga, une application pour apprendre les langues africaines !

3 Upvotes

Salut tout le monde !

Je suis heureux de vous présenter Jogolinga, une application que j’ai développée pour faciliter l’apprentissage de nombreuses langues africaines.

L’objectif est simple : rendre les langues africaines plus accessibles à tous, que vous souhaitiez apprendre la langue de vos origines, communiquer avec votre famille, découvrir une nouvelle culture ou simplement apprendre quelque chose de nouveau.

Je ne compte pas m'arrêter à ces langues mais je souhaite mettre en évidence les liens (ethymologie, culture etc...) entre chacune d'entre elles.

📱 Vous pouvez découvrir l’application ici :
https://jogolinga.app

L’application est également disponible sur Google Play. Une version pour iOS est prévue prochainement.

Comme il s’agit d’un projet que je développe moi-même, vos retours me seraient vraiment précieux !

N’hésitez pas à essayer l’application et à me dire ce que vous en pensez :

  • Quelles fonctionnalités aimeriez-vous voir ?
  • Qu’est-ce qui pourrait améliorer votre expérience d’apprentissage ?
  • Quelles langues africaines aimeriez-vous apprendre ?
