Ayman’s comments from the SRC Reading Club group.

- I'm Not Hanging Noodles on Your Ears:
It's interesting how different cultures can be very similar in some expressions, yet very different in others. Some of the idioms in the book were comprehensible to me, while others did not make any sense. Cultural differences are truly fascinating.
The book was enjoyable overall.

- Fluent in 3 Months:
This book argues that the traditional ways of learning languages are inefficient, give a false sense of incompetence, and end up in frustration. In addition, it debunks some of the most common misconceptions about learning new languages. My favourite part was about some helpful tips and tricks to make learning languages less scary and more fun.
I would recommend this book for sure.

- Which book would you have preferred to read in this phase 'Languages'?
An English novel of moderate difficulty would’ve been nice.

- Any suggestive improvements for the Reading Club discussions?
It was hard to find this discussion. Perhaps make it more accessible (e.g. by sharing the link somewhere).
Also, this discussion looks like a questionnaire. Nobody likes questionnaires. A simpler, informal form would be better.

Thank you!
