ADEL ALBANNA: A PROFISSIONAL ARABIC TEACHER

استاع للمستوى المتوسط

       找人帮忙的时候，一定要找那个真正有能力、能帮到点子上的人。就像我们学语言，每个学习者都像孙悟空一样，在这个特定的圈子里，施展着各种本事折腾过一阵子了，但是总有些难点、顽疾，就像悟空遇到的各类妖怪，打不掉也躲不过，这时候就要请菩萨帮忙了。有经验的老师就是这样的人。When looking for help, always look for someone who is really competent and can help with ideas. Just like our language learning, each learner is like Sun Wukong, who has been struggling with various skills for a while in this particular circle. However, there are always some difficulties and intractable diseases, just like all kinds of demons that The Monkey can't get rid of or avoid. At this time, we need to ask the Bodhisattva for help.  Experienced teachers are such people.
