I think watching foreign-language movies with English subtitles is a great way to do a little something for your language muscles!]]> 2022-05-16 20:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ncoffin3/5m60xqbhak3j1448/wish/2186379920 ncoffin3 https://padlet.com/ncoffin3/5m60xqbhak3j1448/wish/2186385768 I just type in “Arabic”.  Some titles with “buzz” (I haven’t actually watched all of these):

• alRawabi School for Girls
• Jinn
• West Beirut
• Abla Fahita Drama Queen
• Destiny
• Saladin
• The Land
• Under the Bombs
