It was raining today, and I had a headache. I want to be careful about the typhoon.

Why are you learning Persian/Dari? Maybe you have an Afghan partner. Maybe your family speaks Persian/Dari. Maybe you work with Afghan people. Maybe you're planning to visit Afghanistan. Or maybe you simply love the language and culture. Whatever your reason is, your reason is the best starting point for learning. Tell me in the comments: Why are YOU learning Dari?

I try to go outside about twice a day because spending too much time looking at a computer screen is not good for my eyes. My eyes often feel dry and painful after working on a computer for long periods. When I go outside, I look at distant objects to give my eyes a chance to rest. the job market has changed in recent years and some international companies have reduced their presence in certain countries. I do not teach as much as before because working in front of a computer screen for many hours makes my eyes feel very dry and uncomfortable. Although doctors gave me eye drops, they have not solved the problem completely. Since I work with computers every day, it is difficult to avoid screen time. To reduce the strain on my eyes, I recently borrowed several books from the library. I hope that reading physical books will help me spend less time looking at screens and give my eyes more opportunities to rest.

. What Makes a Good English Lesson? A successful lesson should not be measured only by how much the teacher talks. It should be measured by how much the student learns, practices, and improves. A good lesson needs: Clear objectives. Relevant activities. Student participation. Constructive feedback. Practical application. Teaching is not simply explaining. Teaching is creating opportunities for learning. Dr. Osama Farouk from Egypt PHD in EFL English Tutor | | Islamic Studies Instructor on Italki

My students are very enthusiastic about learning Chinese. Unlike English, which is a compulsory subject in many schools, people who choose to study Chinese usually have a strong interest in it and are prepared to put in the effort. Most Chinese students begin studying English in primary school. However, many people do not learn it very effectively because it is often taught as an academic subject rather than as a practical language. Students spend a lot of time memorizing vocabulary and grammar, but they have few opportunities to speak or listen. Most websites, books, social media platforms, and other resources around me were in Chinese. My parents grew up in difficult circumstances. They experienced the Cultural Revolution and had limited educational opportunities. My father left school at the age of sixteen to work in a factory and support himself. Because of this background, my parents did not have many opportunities to read or continue learning.

Today I went swimming after school. I have not slept much today, so I want to sleep well tonight. I am going to sleep a lot.

I went to watch a baseball game today. It was raining ☔️ and lost the game.

Classes have been canceled tomorrow because a typhoon is coming. I feel great.

Today, a typhoon is coming. I don’t mind if the wind is strong, but I hope it doesn’t rain when I go home. In my English class today, I have a presentation. I’m not very confident, but my group and I will do our best!

I don't really feel like my listening skills are improving.
