I'm not good at hearing sounds in languages I don't know well
I would like to learn a simple song in Arabic. I am thinking about how I could try to do this. Mehdi has been so kind to encourage me.

أود أن أتعلم أغنية بسيطة باللغة العربية. أفكر كيف يمكنني محاولة القيام بذلك. لقد كان مهدي لطيفاً جداً لتشجيعني.

'awad 'an 'ataealam 'aghniatan basitatan biallughat alearabiati. 'ufkir kayf yumkinuni muhawalat alqiam bidhalik. laqad kan mahdiun ltyfaan jdaan litashjieni.
Oops, I am not sure how Google translate changed Mehdi's name.

I do really like playing these language games with others. I'm very glad that we have a space for this.

When I feel a lot of pain in my brain, sometimes if I do a little bit with a language I don't know very well, it relieves that pain.

It relieves some kind of pressure of me trying to use English, maybe.
I wonder if there is literature that people have written about experiencing post-traumatic stress damage in specific languages, and not feeling as if they have PTSD when they speak another language instead.

Nearly all of my PTSD has happened in English and I think it is suspiciously nourishing to speak in other languages and not feel so much like I have PTSD :-) LOL!
The English Arabic machine translate is not very good
Yes I have had some trouble with other languages also. It is the closest I can get and I think that if I make lots of mistakes and then still learn things, at least it may get me to a point where I can understand people speaking it. Since I'm all about making mistakes in public :-) LOL
I've had a few situations where I really regretted jumping in with Google translator, LOL
But most of the time it is definitely helping me learn more languages :-) thank goodness
It's called phonetic spelling but no I think there isn't machine translation from this
We will all be astonished at how fast I learn :-) zoom!
