About this episode

Send us a text

Marhabtayn!! Welcome to Season 2! I hope you’re all safe and well. It’s been a while since my last episode, and I was SO nervous to come back. In this special introduction episode, I recap why I started learning Levantine Arabic - though my Arabic isn’t perfect yet. I talk about why I took a break from recording and how I’ve learned to be kinder to myself during tough times.

I also share five simple tips for dealing with self-doubt and low motivation, plus a message of support for everyone facing difficult situations - especially my dear brothers and sisters in Palestine and Gaza. I’m praying for you all <3

Also, I’m working on transcripts for my episodes, so stay tuned!

I’d love to hear from you on Instagram @marhabtayn_!
شكرًا كتير عن جد على الاستماع!
