#104 Afandi Quiz: Cultural Misunderstanding

Todayโ€™s quiz is about a cultural misunderstanding in the following situation:

โ–ถ๏ธ Hannes and Merten are two young entrepreneurs from ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ดNorway. They have come all the way to ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆSaudi Arabia where they want to sell advanced equipment to a Saudi oil production company. In their email exchange the Arabs seemed like very keen (=excited, interested) buyers but the negotiations (=talking about the price) drag on (=continue for too long) and the Norwegians fail to strike a deal (=agree to buy or sell sth) within the three days of their stay.

#14 Must Watch: This Land Is Mine

โ–ถ๏ธ The Middle East has been mired in (=stuck in) conflict for centuries and millennia (=thousands of years). Watch this music video for a brief history that leads up to the conflict between ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑIsrael and ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธPalestine.

#134 Our favourite mistakes: Vocabulary

โ–ถ๏ธ Hereโ€™s a collection of popular vocabulary mishaps (=small mistake or accident) in education, many of which are mistranslations from Russian. Be sure to speak English and not Uzlish!

#8 Travel Notes: Love yourself

โ–ถ๏ธ Flags are magical things. They are powerful symbols that express the essence (=innermost quality or character) of a nation. However, itโ€™s not that easy if your feelings towards your nation are so incredibly overwhelming (=making you feel so strongly that you cannot think clearly) that one simple flag is not enough. So what can you do if you know you live in the worldโ€™s best country, i.e. ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ทTurkey? You can a) put up lots of small flags, b) go for (=choose) one huge flag, or c) let Atatรผrk help you out once more.
