Plataformas de enseñanza de idiomas, podcasts, GoogleDocs, Dropbox, Youtube, traductores o este mismo blog, todos son ventajosas herramientas pero como la Luna, tienen un lado oscuro y necesitamos tener mucha concentración para evitar distracciones.

Entonces, ¿cómo podemos sacar el máximo rendimiento a estas herramientas y servicios digitales y que la inversión de tiempo nos reporte beneficios pragmáticos?

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.
