Mauritania MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch - as 1 of 25 Arabic language WUaS-es?

Hi Ma, Pin and Ed, and Peter,  

Greetings! 

Thanks for coming to visit me in Canyon 94516 in the past 10-15 years (from Pittsburgh twice, from Baltimore, and from nearby Berkeley)! And thanks Ed in particular for your encouragement - and I think in growing MIT OCW-CENTRIC WIKI WORLD Univ & Sch, as named WUaS Chief Academic Medical Officer - to move forward the WUaS Academic Medical Center with WUaS Longevity Genetics Institute into Canyon 94516 (e.g. on Cuttyhunk last August 2023 when you called me and we talked, Ed). 

Brainstorming, how to develop the following virtually first (and in that T.. L......... didn't suggest developing parallel Yemen World Univ & Sch in Arabic a few years ago at the time -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/10/fritillaria-meleagris.html) - and in seeking to stay alive, and especially in growing MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ and Sch abolition movement worldwide with Mauritania Apparently dealing in large numbers of slaves (and see Wikipedia article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauritania ... 

 
... Just met the same 2 Arabic speakers, men from Mauritania, NW Africa (which has a coastline - and a deep water port), again this evening in front of the Walmart in North Versailles, Pgh PA (who speak very little English but enough to communicate some) ... and shared with them again about MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, and one of the men, wearing clothes from Mauritania took a picture of  the - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - home page with his smart phone ... and we shook hands after this ... Am wondering how to grow both wings of MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS, 1) the online free MIT OCW-centric WUaS degrees and wiki schools both in Arabic and 2) the possibly WM-informed WUaS Educational Services Stores in Mauritania, Africa ... as WUaS's President, CEO, Founder, Professor at, and Presiding Clerk ... Saw the 2 Mauritanians near the WM spices as I left WM ...

I also think Google Translate is very close to making it possible to translate Arabic<>English, with speaking even, through our smartphones and related hardware in real time ... 

Could Mauritania be the first WUaS country of ~200 to develop WUaS Mauritania in from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States and in Arabic and the recognized national languages - 
Pulaar
Soninke
Wolof

and other /Languages there especially first from - 



- there? I've been to Morocco two nation states to the north ...  And Google Street View with a time slider can be seen in Senegal just to the north I saw online ...

The University of Nouakchott is in its capital city on the Atlantic ocean ... 


How best to develop a plan and even with the US state department -


but where Mauritania has serious 
 


Also -

Mrs. Cissé Mint Cheikh Ould Boide Mauritania's Ambassador to the United States was born on January 1, 1970, in Nouakchott, Mauritania. Prior to her appointment as Mauritania's Ambassador to the United States in March 2021


And - 

Cynthia Kierscht has been the United States Ambassador to Mauritania since June 22, 2021. She is a career member of the Senior Foreign Service and has also served at the U.S. Embassy in Rabat, the U.S. Interests Section in Tripoli, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, and the U.S. Consulate in Marseille.

And here are Ambassador Cynthia Kierscht and the President Mohamed ould Cheikh el Ghazouani on Twitter X - 


How best to develop a plan for Mauritania WUaS and potentially with the US state department and Google too (having worked with Mwende "Volcano" Evande in Cameroon, another west African country, and with WUaS awarding him a certificate of completion - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/04/scadoxus-multiflorus.html?m=0 - for this "CS First with Google at World University and School" course

A reactivated Chase credit card in these regards possibly ?
 
And could this become a model in 5 or 10 years for developing MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS in all ~25 of ~200 countries with Arabic as an official language? And how to develop a WUaS online free MIT OCW-centric degrees, wiki schools and WUaS Educational Services Stores'  plan potentially with the US state department and T.. L......... even for all these ~25 Arabic language countries (and with T.. L......... heading regularly to Saudi Arabia and Yemen these days)?  


Seeking to first move the WUaS Academic Medical Center with WUaS Longevity Genetics' Institute forward into a newly safe open Canyon 94516 in 2024 potentially.

How will World Univ & Sch create online English as a second language and with a teacher from home - and potentially with Gemini AI?

And an Arabic language speaker could use to translate the following - 


(added these approaches and ideas to learning English as a second language and with Gemini AI here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_as_a_Second_Language)

So I asked Gemini AI: 
how best can I find a free "English as a second language" course for an Arabic speaker in Pittsburgh PA , for example, with a teacher from home, or potentially using Gemini AI instead?

One Gemini AI response -  



1

Here are some resources to help you find a free English as a Second Language (ESL) course in Pittsburgh, PA for an Arabic speaker:

  • Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania offers free ESL classes online and in-person for all levels, including beginners. They can be reached at 1-877-499-3526.

  • Literacy Pittsburgh provides free ESL courses with a focus on speaking, listening, workplace skills, and navigating daily life in Pittsburgh. They offer online and in-person classes.

While there aren't currently free ESL courses offered directly by Gemini AI, there are some resources available to help you learn English on your own:

  • Duolingo is a free app that gamifies language learning.

  • Memrise is another free app that uses flashcards and games to help you learn vocabulary.

Another Gemini AI response 

Here are some ways to find English as a Second Language (ESL) resources for an Arabic speaker in Pittsburgh, PA:

With a Teacher from Home:

  • Online Platforms:
    • Websites like italki or Verbling connect students with online ESL tutors worldwide. You can filter for tutors who speak Arabic and are comfortable teaching students from a specific region.
    • Consider online tutoring companies specializing in Arabic speakers, like Preply [invalid URL removed].
  • Local Language Schools:
    • Several language schools in Pittsburgh offer ESL classes. You can search online or contact universities like the University of Pittsburgh (mentioned earlier) to see if they have evening or weekend classes.
    • Consider community colleges or adult education centers that might offer affordable ESL programs.

Potentially using Gemini AI (me!)

While I can't currently conduct full ESL lessons, I can be a helpful companion for Arabic speakers learning English:

  • Vocabulary and Grammar: I can answer your questions about English vocabulary and grammar.
  • Translation: I can translate words and short phrases between English and Arabic.
  • Practice Conversation: You can practice basic conversation skills by asking me questions and responding to my prompts in English.

Here are some resources that might be useful in conjunction with using me:

  • Free Online ESL Courses: Websites like Duolingo or Memrise offer free online ESL courses with interactive lessons and exercises.
  • English Language Learning Apps: Explore apps like Busuu or Lingodeer that offer structured learning modules in English for Arabic speakers.

Finding the best option:

The best option depends on the learner's needs and preferences. Consider these factors:

  • Learning Style: Some people prefer a structured learning environment with a teacher, while others prefer self-paced learning with online resources.
  • Budget: Online tutors may be more expensive than community college classes, while online resources can be free or have subscription fees.
  • Learning Goals: If the goal is basic conversation, online resources and apps can be a good start. For more in-depth learning, a teacher might be beneficial.

Additional Resources in Pittsburgh:

  • Literacy Pittsburgh: This non-profit organization offers free ESL classes for immigrants and refugees. [https://www.literacypittsburgh.org/]
  • University of Pittsburgh - Less Commonly Taught Languages Center: The University of Pittsburgh offers Arabic language courses, which could be helpful in understanding the linguistic connection between Arabic and English. [https://lctl.pitt.edu/languages/arabic]

I hope this information helps you or the Arabic speaker you know find the best way to learn English in Pittsburgh, PA!
