Ahmad Ad Dawḩah, Qatar

About Ahmad

Being an audiovisual translator between Arabic, English, and German at Al Jazeera, German TV ARD and ZDF allowed me to understand and live the spirit of those languages. Although I am strict about languages rules, I admit they are eventually human products charged with too much cultural, social, humorous, and even somtimes sarcastic unconscious connotations, therfor I am very much passionate about semiotics and translation of poetry. My online courses in Arabic, English, and German for non-native speakers are inviting for a pleasant mutual understanding between societies. My idol is Noam Chomsky, who made me passionate about linguistics. Therefore, I argue that I offer innovative and unique acquisition techniques of Arabic (MSA & Egyptian), English, and German for non-native speakers.
