Beschreibung

Hilarious Language Facts explores the captivating world of language, revealing surprising origins and amusing evolutions of words. It delves into etymology, linguistic diversity, and the ever-changing nature of language. Did you know the word "goodbye" has a fascinating history, or that languages exist with grammatical structures that challenge our understanding of language itself? The book emphasizes that language is more than just communication; it reflects our shared human experience.

 
Approaching complex linguistic concepts in an accessible manner, the book progresses from fundamental principles like phonetics and syntax to specific examples of peculiar word origins and grammatical oddities. It examines how languages borrow from each other, adapt to social changes, and promote cross-cultural communication. By uncovering the stories behind languages, Hilarious Language Facts offers readers a new perspective on themselves and the world, making it a valuable reference for language enthusiasts and anyone curious about the power of human communication.

    Thank you for your interest in Audioacademy´s Arabic for beginners. The course is designed for beginners to slightly advanced learners and focuses on mastering of the Arabic language fundaments –  the alphabet, reading skills and especially communication phrases you can use talking to Arabic native speakers or travelling to one of many countries where Arabic is spoken.  The course is based on contextual learning, which means that you will not only learn words, but also sentences in which you can use the words you have learned. In this course you will find a total of 1,200 words and practice sentences.What is the best way to work with the course? After mastering the alphabet and acquiring basic reading skills follow the course from lesson 1 to lesson 10.  Each lesson contains six tracks. First,  familiarize yourself with the actual vocabulary and shorter expressions (tracks 1 and 2). In order to get a better grip over the new expressions  in Arabic, in track one you hear the  Arabic expression twice. Next, you have a  word followed by a contextual sentence, again in both translation options (tracks 3 and 4).  Then you move on to complete sentences (tracks 5 and 6). ). Again, in track 5, you will hear the sentence in Arabic twice. Once you have mastered translating sentences from English into Arabic (track 6) in the time gap before the English translation, you have won. The words alone will help you in understanding the meaning, but using the mastered complete sentences will help you communicate much betterThere is a script to this course available for free download at www.audioacademyeu.eu which will make your activities with the course much more effective. In its  introduction, you will find a learning guide along with helpful tips on how to make the lessons more effective and a lesson plan for you to record your learning progress. In the first and second part you will find a written version of the audio tracks you will listen to. If you're a real beginner, it's a good idea to read what you're listening to at the same time during your first few listening sessionss -it will help you remember the words and sentences better. In the third part of the script you will find double-sided flashcards that you can cut out with scissors and practice even do not feel like listening.The course is narrated by native speakers - Jeff Short in English and Souad Kafi and Mohammed Maghoub in Arabic.  No AI generated voices have been used.Arabic alphabet and pronunciationLesson_01 – Greetings, verb to be Lesson 02_Family, verb to haveLesson 03_plural, dual, numbers 1_12, verb to haveLesson 04_Work, verbs to speak, to work, to writeLesson 05_ Revision_talking about ourselvesLesson 06_time, days of the week, numbers 12_1000, ordinal numbersLesson 07_Food, in a restaurantLesson 08_PossessionLesson 09_Prepositions, daily activitiesLesson 10 _ Characteristics

    Dangerous Jokes - How Racism and...

    People often get away with belittling others if they frame their speech as jokes—speech that would be condemned if stated seriously. "It's just a joke," they say. But what is different or special about joking? And if jokes about lawyers and politicians are morally acceptable, then what is wrong with joking about race or gender? Furthermore, if we may joke about a politician's shirts, may we joke about his weight? People who are targeted by demeaning jokes feel their impact but may not be able to pinpoint where the harm lies. 
     
     
     
    Dangerous Jokes develops a novel, well-researched, and compelling argument that lays bare the power of demeaning jokes in ordinary conversations. Claire Horisk draws on her expertise in philosophy of language and on evidence from sociology, law, and cognitive science to explain how the element of humor—so often used as a defense—makes jokes more potent than regular speech in communicating prejudice and reinforcing social hierarchies. She addresses the morality of telling, being amused by, and laughing at, derogatory jokes, and she gives a new account of listening that addresses the morality of listening to demeaning speech. She leaves us with no illusions about whether "it's just a joke" is an excuse for demeaning humor.
