Learn the Arabic Alphabet with Ease!

Learn the Arabic Alphabet with Ease! How to Easily Remember Arabic Letters ChaptersAn Introduction to the Arabic Alphabet LettersPronouncing the LettersMemorize the Arabic Alphabet Through Regular PracticeThe importance of the Arabic language should not be understated. It is spoken by an estimated 420 million people worldwide, with 26 countries classifying themselves as Arabic speaking.It is often considered challenging for native speakers of European languages such as French, Spanish, German, and Portuguese to learn Arabic.This might be because it has three vowels, with the vowel length distinguishing the word meaning. Or that it has a wide range of consonants produced at the back of the throat, with each consonant being voice or unvoiced. Perhaps it is down to the fact that, as in other Semitic languages, such as Hebrew, the word order is verb-subject-object.One particularly challenging aspect of learning Arabic is that there are many different versions. The written language consists mainly of Modern standard Arabic (Msa) and Classic Arabic. Luckily the d ifference between the two is largely not important. Msa is used in written texts for an international market, such as newspapers and books. Classical Arabic is the form of Arabic used in the Islamic holy book of the Quran, making the Arabic language significant in the Muslim world.The story for spoken Arabic is somewhat different. Each country has its own dialect. This means that there are large differences in vocabulary, phrases, expressions, pronunciation, and sometimes even grammatical structure. In other words, Egyptian Arabic differs from Moroccan Arabic, which in turn differs from Lebanese Arabic and Palestinian Arabic.As you can see, there are many things that you need to know about Arabic. But the one thing that all of this has in common is that each version of Arabic has its foundations in Arabic script. So if you want to learn Arabic to do business in Qatar, to go on holiday in the United Arab Emirates, or even to study the Quran in Saudi Arabia, you'll need to start off w ith the Arabic alphabet.Arabic can be intimidating at first glance, if only because its alphabet is indecipherable to newcomers. But it's possible to learn the Arabic alphabet's 28 letters in only a few months of studying.Learn all about how to learn Arabic letters without taking a traditional lesson!, by Nicholas AwdeWrite It in Arabic: A Workbook and Step-by-Step Guide to Writing the Arabic Alphabet, by Naglaa GhaliSugar Comes from Arabic: A Beginner's Guide to Arabic Letters and Words, by Barbara WhitesidesModern Standard Arabic Grammar: A Learner's Guide, by Mohammad T.

How to Sing Like Beyonce

How to Sing Like Beyonce Suzy S. Beyonce has been the center of pop culture attention lately, following her Inauguration Day performance, and love-it-or-hate-it Super Bowl spectacle. The singer is often praised for her vocal range and powerful sound but perhaps her most well-known stylistic specialty is her use of melisma moving between several notes in succession to create a dramatic, bluesy effect. The technique is attributed to gospel and jazz music, but has become more mainstream as artists like the late Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Beyonce and Christina Aguilera have incorporated melisma into their style. For many singers, however, its one of the hardest vocal techniques to master. In order for it to sound good, every single note needs to be on pitch, and often youre running through these notes very quickly. In fact, NPR even ran an article back in 2007 about the misuse of the technique among many amateur singers. Most of these beginners simply mimick their favorite singers style, without having the proper training or know-how to do it right. As youre learning the technique, here are some things to keep in mind, as outlined by the Performance High blog: 1) Practice. If you can do an embellishment pretty well and just a couple notes are not exactly on pitch, then slow it down and clean it up.  Gradually speed it back up until you can consistently do it cleanly at real tempo. 2) Simplify. If youre imitating a very complex run, simplify it.  Take out some of the notes so that you have fewer distinct pitches to hit accurately in the same time frame.  If the run moves both up and down in pitch, consider modifying it to run in only one direction to eliminate pitch bounce. 3) Dont do it. You dont have to sing embellishments to be good.  Excessive use of melisma is a relatively new development in the whole history of music.  Plenty of artists do NOT use lots of embellishment.  Even Christina has songs that do not use much at all, such as Hurt and Fighter.

Starting a Business Dont Let Fear Hold You Back - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / Starting a Business Dont Let Fear Hold You Back - Introvert Whisperer Starting a Business: Dont Let Fear Hold You Back Do you dream of starting your own business? You’re not alone, as 589,000 new companies set up shop in 2017. So what’s stopping you from putting your ideas into practice? Read on to discover why there’s no need to fear the most common barriers to starting a business. All the good ideas have gone This not true. There are plenty of niches to be filled, so research the market, get to know your target audience and ask for honest positive feedback from people you trust. Once you’ve done this, there’s no reason why you can’t succeed. Darren Fell of Crunch Acounting agrees: “Don’t get caught up in waiting for the most amazing business idea in the world to come along. If you have a gut feeling or an idea, just go for it and tell as many people as possible what you’re doing. Often the real idea will come out of your original one in the process of trying to make it work.” While your business idea may need to be shaped and polished, it’s difficult to do this until you’ve put it to the test. According to Ritam Gandhi, founder of Studio Graphene: “Most business decisions are based on a hypothesis, and entrepreneurs can never be 100% sure that their assumptions and hypothesis are completely true.” Ritam advises first time business owners to start by taking small manageable steps and setting realistic milestones. This approach will create a solid foundation and reduce the chances of failure. I might fail In 2009, Katarina Skoberne was named one of the 1000 most influential British business people. Later that year, her third business collapsed and she was left hungry and virtually homeless. Initially too proud to ask for help, Katarina learned to accept her failure and now sees it as part of a learning curve: “The reason failure is valued in some cultures; Silicon Valley in particular, is pure business pragmatism. It is assumed that having bounced back from failure you’ll have learned resilience â€" and possibly some humility â€" and you won’t repeat your mistakes.” Risk is uncomfortable, but it’s also part of running a business, so many entrepreneurs encounter failure at some point. The key to coping is to reflect on what went wrong, learn from it and try to avoid failing for the same reason in the future. I don’t have the skills I need When Creative and Coffee blogger Sarah started her design business, she didn’t wait until she had completed her marketing diploma. Instead, she learned just enough to get going and learned the rest on the job. According to Sarah: “There is no better and faster way to learn then when you  have  to learn. Learn on the job. If you wait until you feel totally comfortable then you will  never  start.” When it comes to developing new skills, the internet is a fabulous resource. Search for a skill and Google will deliver a selection of in depth articles, videos and free mini courses designed to help you learn. To boost your business’s visibility, it’s also worth learning how to engage with your target community on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, as social media will drive traffic to your website. I don’t have enough money Some people start their business as a side hustle, however, it’s perfectly possible to get things going properly without a large amount of cash. The Talented Ladies Club is a well known online resource for mums who are passionate about their career. However, entrepreneurs Hannah and Kary had a very limited budget when they set out: “We had grand plans  for an ambitious website. But as two freelance mums, we didn’t have a huge pot of cash to invest in everything we needed to make it happen. In fact, we barely had anything at all.” To save money, the two friends found a developer they trusted, worked out what they afford to pay him and adjusted their plans to suit. They then taught themselves SEO and social media and learned how to grow their readership without advertising. As inexperienced entrepreneurs, Hannah and Kary made their share of mistakes. However, they made their business work by using the resources that they did have, including themselves. Starting a business is hard work, but if you do your research, set realistic goals and use resources wisely, success could be just around the corner.
