Modern Hebrew A2 level requirements Does anyone know what are the requirements to achieve an A2 proficiency in Modern Hebrew? Is there any table, or to do list?

Kendim Tükçe çalışıyorum? 'I am studying Turkish on my own' becomes 'Kendim Tükçe çalışıyorum?'

Japanese Katakana- Hard to remember

So last week I decided to learn basic (elementary) Japanese. My main aim is to read, write, and learn a few basic phrases in Japanese. In just 4 days I learned the Hiragana. Two days ago I started the Katakana and I am still stuck with the first eight characters.

Could it be that Katakana is more difficult than Hirgana to assimilate?

The National anthem of Malta- L-Innu Malti

Lil din l-art ħelwa, l-Omm li tatna isimha, 
Ħares, Mulej, kif dejjem Int ħarist:
Ftakar li lilha bil-oħla dawl libbist. 

Agħti, kbir Alla, id-dehen lil min jaħkimha, 
Rodd il-ħniena lis-sid, saħħa 'l-ħaddiem: 
Seddaq il-għaqda fil-Maltin u s-sliem. 

 

Written by Malta's National Poet, Karm Psaila in 1922

Hip hop from Malta, in Maltese

To those who are learning the Maltese language and want to listen to some contemporary music, they can start listening to Maltese hip hop. 'No bling show', and 'Marmalja' are probably the best groups one can listen to.

Excerpts which demonstrate that Maltese is a mixed language (Arabic and Italian)

Excerpts are taken from the Constitution of Malta.

 

-Red, indicates that the word has Italian origins

-Green, indicates that the word has Arabic origins

 

Malta hija repubblika demokratika bbażata fuq ix-xogħol
u fuq ir-rispett għad-drittijiet u l-libertajiet fundamentali
tal-individwu.

Il-Bandiera Nazzjonali ta’ Malta tikkonsisti f’żewġ
strixxi vertikali ndaqs, bajda mal-arblu u ħamra n-naħa ta’ barra.

L-Innu Nazzjonali ta’ Malta huwa "L-Innu Malti" li jibda 
bil-kliem "Lil din l-Art Ħelwa l-Omm li tatna isimha".

As you can see a word might be of Italian origin but the suffixes are in Arabic. Even some word prefixes are in Arabic.

Il dialetto Siciliano e Napoletano

So che che i dialetti di Sicilia e Napoli sono diversi, ma personalmente sono interessato nelle due. 50% del vocabulario Maltese é derivato dal Siciliano. 

Ci sono persone qua che conoscono bene il Siciliano e il Napoletano? Per te, questi sono lingue o dialetti? Possete scrivere frase o parole su questa discussione?

Grazie
