https://youtu.be/MifITGv5hwM Thinking about learning Arabic? Watch this first! Hello, I recently decided to check around Youtube for videos on learning Arabic. I found a lot of clickbait and not a lot of substance...I'm sure there's good stuff out there, but I was so turned off by what I found that I stopped looking and filmed this video. Thank you, Ash, for asking my advice! If you are thinking about learning Arabic I hope you'll find this vid…
https://youtu.be/JXJFD2ojaNo 4 Years Ago, some Snaps I did went viral. من 4 سنوات، سويت سنابات عن شيء والموضوع انتشر بشكل كبير It was crazy--I'd never been attacked so much for talking about something. شيء غريب -- عمري ما شفت انتقاد مثل اللي شفته خلال الفترة بعد ما انتشرت السنابات In hindsight, I feel it may have been because I did those Snaps in English and many didn't really understand what I was saying. In any case, we…
https://youtu.be/evTgpKsckwY I don't really enjoy making subtitles. كتابة الترجمة متعبة جداً Which is why I decided to try something new for this video- English & Arabic, together, no subtitles...kind of like being an interpreter for myself. عشان كذا قررت اني اجرب شيء جديد للفيديو هذا-- بتكلم انجليزي و عربي بنفس الفيديو. اصير "مترجمة" لنفسي...In this video, I respond to a viewer's request for a video about "diet, cooking, exercise, and dating."في هالفيديو، اجاوب على سؤال من…
https://youtu.be/FST5k-fzwXE Arabic is a beautiful language. Not just to look at, but to understand and internalize. Although the book "40 Rules of Love" by Elif Shafak was not originally written in Arabic, Khalid Al-Jubaili's translation is amazing and I highly recommend it. Listen to the book (in English) for free with Audible's trial: https://amzn.to/2RmoSXE When I moved to Houston, I wanted artwork that reflects my personality and interests. I thought about modern art, paintings, etc. and that…

https://youtu.be/Vr-ZlspJOhQ How would you explain "y" sounds using Arabic letters? Hello everyone! This post is for my English learners (and perhaps Arabic learners may find this useful as well!). About a year ago, I filmed a video on letters in the English alphabet and what their Arabic "equivalents" would be. It was an interesting challenge--as Arabic has "long vowels" and "short vowels." Going through the sounds and letter combinations reminded me why I love these…
https://youtu.be/fNIceqv-_qM Hello from one of Texas' newest LTC holders! Hello everyone! I recently received my Texas License to Carry in the mail and wanted to give you the lowdown on my experience -- what you need to know for the test, what the process is like, and some advice. Although I never considered myself a gun enthusiast, I've wanted to learn the basics for a while. As a new resident in Texas, it made sense to…

https://youtu.be/YKB5QIahN2A Howdy and welcome back! Hello everyone! Happy Friday. In this video I talk about a few reasons that made me decide to move after approx. 3.5 years in Los Angeles. What a journey it's been!I also talk briefly about Texas liquor laws and driving/traffic in Houston. Note: I filmed the first part of this video in January and picked it up last week -- thankfully I could still find the same outfit. Maybe you'll notice…
https://youtu.be/dxa0D-z0TTQ Welcome to my crib! Hello everyone! I had been planning this video for ages but I ended up traveling for work at the end of January, so things got pushed to the edge of the back burner...As you'll hear me mention in the video, I LOVE putting together furniture in the same way that I love doing puzzles. I am also fiercely independent, so asking a friend to help with the last couple screws on…
