Der Klein Prinz →
Originally written in French, The Little Prince has been translated into more than 190 languages. I’ve snooped around a bit, and found an online German version. The following is my favorite part because it was exactly what I felt like when I was little:
Die großen Leute verstehen nie etwas von selbst, und für die Kinder ist es zu anstrengend, ihnen immer und immer wieder erklären zu...

ähm
I’m the type of person who thinks a lot before answering a question. I’d need to put all of what I have to say in perspective and make sure that what’s about to come out of my mouth makes perfect sense. That doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m good at answering questions, because I’m anything but that.

Hallo World!
Guten tag!
First, a little background about me. I am a native Arabic speaker. I speak both Arabic and English pretty fluently. I have been learning French for about a year. I have now begun to learn German.

What to expect from this blog?
