Your Spanish Journey

We all learn in different ways... some of us are visual learners, others prefer self-study, some like to learn through trial and error. 

Of course, it depends on what we are learning.

For the most part, are you an active learner or a passive learner?

بِلَادْ الشَام هيَ أَرْبَعَة دُوَلْ, سوريا و الأُرْدُن و فِلِسْطِين ولُبْنَان.
مِن نَاحِيَة المَسَاحَة سوريا أَكْبَر شَي, بَعْدَين الأُرْدُن وبَعْدَهَا فْلِسْطِينْ وأَصْغَر شِي لُبْنَان.
الأُرْدُن فِي الجَنُوب وفِيهَا البَحْر المَيِّت, أَغْلَب سُكَّانْهَا مِن فِلِسْطِين وأَهَلْهَا إِسْمَهُم النَشَامَى.
لُبْنَان فِي الغَرْب و جُزْء كَبِير مِنْهَا سَاحِل, كَمَان فِيهَا جِبَال وطَبِيعَتْهَا جَمِيلَة.
فِلْسِطِين كَمَان فِي الغَرْب وأَغْلَب مُدُنْهَا عَلَى السَاحِل. فِيهَا أَولْ القِبْلَتَين (المَسْجِد الأَقْصَى).
سُورْيَا فِي الشَمَال وجُزْء صَغِير مِنْهَا عَلَى السَاحِل بس كَمَان يَمُر خِلَالْهَا نَهْر الفُرَات ودِجْلَة. طَبَعًا عَاصِمَتْهَا دِمَشْق أَقْدَم عَاصِمَة بِالتَارِيخ.
