Here are a few of the Japanese language books I have in my collection. I do not speak or read Japanese, but I love the books I have.

No me llames extranjero
(Rafael Amor){Argentina}
No me llames extranjero porque haya nacido lejos,
o porque tenga otro nombre la tierra de donde vengo.
No me llames extranjero porque fue distinto el seno
o porque acunó mi infancia otro idioma de los cuentos.
No me llames extranjero si en el amor de una madre
tuvimos la misma luz en el canto y en el beso
con que nos sueñan iguales las madres contra su pecho.
No me llames extranjero, ni pienses de dónde vengo,
mejor saber dónde vamos, adónde nos lleva el tiempo.
No me llames extranjero porque tu pan y tu fuego
calmen mi hambre y mi frío, y me cobije tu techo.
No me llames extranjero, tu trigo es como mi trigo,
tu mano como la mía, tu fuego como mi fuego,
y el hambre no avisa nunca, vive cambiando de dueño.
Y me llamas extranjero porque me trajo un camino,
porque nací en otro pueblo, porque conozco otros mares,
y un día zarpé de otro puerto,
si siempre quedan iguales en el adiós los pañuelos
y las pupilas borrosas de los que dejamos lejos,
y los amigos que nos nombran y son iguales los rezos
y el amor de la que sueña con el día del regreso.
No, no me llames extranjero, traemos el mismo grito,
el mismo cansancio viejo que viene arrastrando el hombre
desde el fondo de los tiempos, cuando no existían fronteras,
antes que vinieran ellos, los que dividen y matan,
los que roban, los que mienten, los que venden nuestros sueños,
ellos son, ellos son los que inventaron esta palabra: extranjero.
No me llames extranjero, que es una palabra triste,
que es una palabra helada, huele a olvido y a destierro.
No me llames extranjero, mira tu niño y el mío
cómo corren de la mano hasta el final del sendero,
no los llames extranjeros, ellos no saben de idiomas,
de límites, ni banderas, míralos, se van al cielo
por una risa paloma que los reúne en el vuelo.
No me llames extranjero, piensa en tu hermano y el mío,
el cuerpo lleno de balas besando de muerte el suelo,
ellos no eran extranjeros, se conocían de siempre
por la libertad eterna e igual de libres murieron.
No me llames extranjero, mírame bien a los ojos,
mucho más allá del odio, del egoísmo y el miedo,
y verás que soy un hombre, no puedo ser extranjero.
DO NOT CALL ME A FOREIGNER
Do not call me a foreigner ,
because I have been born far,
or because of the Land from where I come
has another name
Do not call me a foreigner ,
because the lap was different
or because it was different the story language
that rocked my childhood
Do not call me a foreigner ,
if in the love of a mother,
we had the same light
in the song and the kiss,
whereupon they dream to us equal
the mothers against their chests.
Do not call me a foreigner ,
nor you think from where I come,
better to know where we go,
to where the time wants to lead us.
Do not call me a foreigner
because your bread and your fire,
calm my hunger and my cold,
and your sky cover me.
Do not call me a foreigner,
your wheat is like my wheat,
your hand is like mine,
your fire is like my fire
and the hunger never warns,
it lives changing of owner.
Do not call me a foreigner
because it brought me a path,
because I was born in another town,
because I know other seas
and one day I weighed anchor of another port,
if always are equal :
in a good bye the handkerchiefs
and the blurred pupils
of those we left far.
The friends who remember us
and the prayers are equal
and the love of who dreams
with the returning day.
Do not call me a foreigner,
we bring the same shout,
the same old fatigue
that it comes dragging the man
from the bottom of the times,
when it did not exists borders,
before they came,
those that divide and kill,
those that rob, those that lie
those that sell our dreams,
they are those that invented
this word, foreigner.
Do not call me a foreigner
that is a sad word,
that is a frozen word
it smells of forgetfulness and exile.
Do not call me a foreigner,
Look your child and mine
as they run by their hand
until the end of the footpath.
Do not call them foreigners,
they do not know about languages
nor limits nor flags,
look they go away up to the sky
with a dove laugh
that it reunites them in the flight.
Do not call me a foreigner
think about your brother and mine,
their bodies full of bullets
kissing of death to the ground.
They, they were not foreigners,
they were always known to each other
by the eternal freedom
and they both died equaly free.
Do not call me a foreigner
look at me to the eyes,
behind of the hatred,
of the selfishness and the fear,
and you will see that I am a man,
I cannot be foreigner.
Do not call me a foreigner.

Sólo le pido a dios
(León Gieco)
Sólo le pido a dios
Que el dolor no me sea indiferente
Que la reseca muerte no me encuentre
Vacía y sola sin haber hecho lo suficiente
Sólo le pido a dios
Que lo injusto no me sea indiferente
Que no me abofeteen la otra mejilla
Después de que una garra me arañó la suerte
Sólo le pido a dios
Que la guerra no me sea indiferente
Es un monstruo grande y pisa fuerte
Toda la pobre inocencia de la gente
Sólo le pido a dios
Que el engaño no me sea indiferente
Si un traidor puede más que unos cuantos
Esos cuantos no lo olviden fácilmente
Sólo le pido a dios
Que el futuro no me sea indiferente
Desahuciado esta el que tiene que marchar
A vivir una cultura diferente
Sólo le pido a dios
Que la guerra no me sea indiferente
Es un monstruo grande y pisa fuerte
Toda la pobre inocencia de la gente
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I only ask of God
That i am not indifferent to the pain,
That the dry death won’t find me
Empty and alone, without having done the sufficient.
I only ask of God
That i won’t be indifferent to the injustice
That they won’t slap my other cheek,
After a claw (or talon) has scratched this destiny (luck) of mine.
I only ask of God
That i am not indifferent to the battle,
It’s a big monster and it walks hardly on
All the poor innocence of people.
I only ask of God
That i am not indifferent to deceit,
If a traitor can do more than a bunch of people,
Then let not those people forget him easily.
I only ask of God
That i am not indifferent to the future,
Hopeless is he who has to go away
To live a different culture.
I only ask of God
That i am not indifferent to the battle,
It’s a big monster and it walks hardly on
All the poor innocence of people.

MLC Students belong to various age brackets and come form different backgrounds and cultures, namely public and private sector employees, businessmen, international and local undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students, housewives and many others.
Through our courses, our main concern is to focus on the four vital language skills: Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening. We make sure that our students are be able to speak the language effectively, fluently, and that they can interact with others and realize their ambitions.
Summer courses for high school kids constitute the backbone of our summer activities. Our summer program has a two-tier purpose: a) English teaching as the focus of our attention b) summer activities including skating, swimming, horse riding, trips by bus, and other activities. Our students enjoy both the humane and academic nature of our trips.
Housewives are usually good participants, they form social gatherings during their free time in the mornings. They get to know each other and benefit from their special conversational course with an American teacher. They feel they belong to a women’s club in which they discuss many things, including cooking recipes and most important of all fashion in English.
Adults and businessmen are welcome all the year round, and private organizations get the lion’s share. This is where they need us the most. We extend our technical assistance to them, vocational and educational expertise as well. This is a mutual cooperation so that they can fulfill their objectives.
It’s been years now since we have been teaching English to make communication easier for all of us. Now the time has come for non-Arabs to learn Arabic. The MLC has just completed an Arabic course to make it easier for foreigners to study Arabic. Please pay us a visit at the MLC, and I am sure you will not be disappointed. Certainly, you will not only love it, but you will enjoy it.
We always look forward to seeing our graduates make it through colleges & universities. Now, It is a requirement that all graduates in Jordan pass the TOEFL or the IELTS in order to obtain their degrees. The MLC is committed to our future generations to make it possible for them to pass one of these international tests. It’s through us (MLC) that they make their dreams come true.

Is a commune in the Nord department in northern France. It lies 10 kilometres (6 miles) from the Belgian border. The population of the city (commune) at the 1999 census was 70,850 inhabitants (71,300 inhabitants as per February 2004 estimates). The population of the metropolitan area was 265,974 inhabitants as per the 1999 census.
The name of Dunkirk derives from West Flemish "dun(e)" (dune) and "kerke" (church – related to the Scots English "kirk"). Until the middle of the 20th century the city was situated in the French Flemish area; today the local Flemish dialect, a variety of the Dutch language, can still be found but has been largely replaced by French.
Middle Ages
Dunkirk was first mentioned in 1067 as Dunkirk (Dutch: “Church of the Dune” or "Dune Church").
The area was much disputed between Spain, the Netherlands, England and France.
At the beginning of the Eighty Years' War, Dunkirk was briefly in the hands of the Dutch rebels, from 1577. Spanish forces under the Duke of Parma re-established Spanish rule in 1583 and it became a base for the notorious Dunkirkers.
The Dunkirkers briefly lost their home port when the city was conquered by the French in 1646 but Spanish forces recaptured the city in 1652.
In 1658, as a result of the long war between France and Spain, it was captured by Franco-English forces. It was awarded to England in the peace the following year as agreed in the Franco-English alliance against Spain.
It came under French rule when Charles II of England sold it to France for £320,000 on 17 October 1662.
During the reign of Louis XIV, a large number of commerce raiders once again made their base at Dunkirk. Jean Bart was the most famous. The Man in the Iron Mask was arrested at Dunkirk.
The 18th century Swedish privateers and pirates Lars Gathenhielm and his wife and partner Ingela Hammar, are known to have sold their ill-gotten gains in Dunkirk.
The 1763 "Treaty of Paris" between France and Great Britain included a clause restricting French rights to fortify Dunkirk, to allay British fears of it being used as an invasion base.
French
est une commune française de 68 292 habitants (2008), sous-préfecture du département du Nord et de la région Nord-Pas-de-Calais. La ville est baignée par la mer du Nord et plusieurs canaux. Ses habitants sont appelés les Dunkerquois et les Dunkerquoises.
La ville et ses alentours ont appartenu au comté de Flandre et ils relèvent de la zone linguistique flamande. L'histoire de la « cité de Jean Bart» est liée à la mer : à l'origine, Dunkerque était un village de pêcheurs construit à l'extrémité ouest d'une île longue et étroite « à la frisonne » comprenant l'abbaye des Dunes de Coxyde (d'où le nom : en ouest-flamand duun-kerke = église des dunes) et allant jusqu'à Oostduinkerke qui était à l'époque au bord d'une anse de l'Yser. Des siècles plus tard, la ville abrita des corsaires dont le célèbre Jean Bart, héros de la bataille du Texel. De par sa position sur la mer du Nord, Dunkerque a souvent suscité les convoitises, elle fut le théâtre de nombreuses opérations militaires. Demeurée aux mains des alliés durant la Première Guerre mondiale, elle fut sévèrement bombardée par les Allemands conscient du rôle primordial du port. Au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale elle fut le théâtre de l'opération Dynamo. Sortie anéantie de cette guerre, la ville doit son salut à l'installation dans son port de l'usine sidérurgique Usinor qui accéléra sa reconstruction et son développement.
De nos jours, Dunkerque est le cœur d'une agglomération de 200 000 habitants. C'est la première plate-forme énergétique du Nord-Pas-de-Calais et l'un des pôles économiques de la région notamment grâce à son port, le troisième de France : trafic minéralier et pétrolier, porte-conteneurs, production d'acier.
Elle est aussi connue pour son carnaval, festivités s'étalant sur une période comprise entre janvier et mars, où les habitants se réunissent dans les rues aux rythmes de la fanfare guidée par le « tambour-major ».
Português
Dunquerque (em francês Dunkerque; em neerlandês, Duinkerke; em flamengo ocidental Duynkercke)) é uma cidade portuária no norte de França, no departamento do Nord, região de Nord-Pas-de-Calais, situada a 10 km da fronteira com a Bélgica. Tem cerca de 70.000 habitantes. Está ligada por ferry-boat a Ramsgate e Dover, em Inglaterra.
Dunquerque é o terceiro maior porto francês, depois de Le Havre e Marselha. É também uma cidade industrial, dependente do aço, indústria alimentar, refinação de petróleo, estaleiros navais e indústria química.
Historicamente, a cidade e seus arredores pertenceram ao Condado de Flandres e fazem parte da zona linguística flamenga.
Em Dunquerque fala-se um dialeto muito particular - dunkerquois - com palavras tomadas de empréstimo à linguagem dos marinheiros e ao flamengo ocidental .
O nome de Dunquerque provém do neerlandês Duinkerk, que significa « igreja nas dunas».
Segundo a tradição, a cidade foi fortificada pelo filho de Pepino de Landen, o terrível Allowyn, um franco convertido por Santo Elói. Assim, Dunquerque foi a única cidade da costa, até Saint-Omer, a ser preservada contra os ataques e pilhagens dos normandos. Hoje em dia, Allowyn "reaparece" todos os anos como Reuze (reuze em flamengo significa "gigante"), para presidir a saída do tradicional bando dos pescadores, durante o carnaval de Dunkerque.
Em 960, Balduíno III, dito Balduíno o Jovem, quarto conde de Flandres, faz construir as primeiras muralhas da cidade.
Em 1383 a Dunkerque flamenga é pilhada pelos ingleses e depois, pelos franceses.
A partir do século XVI, Dunquerque passou a ser posessão - juntamente com o território dos Países Baixos espanhóis - dos Habsburgos espanhóis. Em 1520, Carlos V, 31° conde de Flandres, é recebido triunfalmente na cidade.
Dunquerque foi disputada em diferentes ocasiões pelas coroas de Inglaterra, Países Baixos e França. Durante a Guerra de Flandres (1568-1648) e no reinado de Luís XIV, serviu como base de operações de corsários, sendo Jan Bart o mais famoso deles - conhecido por atacar os barcos holandeses.
A cidade foi tomada pelos ingleses sob Filipe II da Espanha, conde de Flandres, e retomada pelos franceses em 1558. Pelo Tratado de Cateau-Cambraisis os franceses a cedem à Espanha em 1559.
Sitiada por Turenne, em 25 de maio de 1658, após a batalha das Dunas, a cidade se rende aos franceses, em 25 de junho. Na mesma noite, Luís XIV a entrega a Oliver Cromwell, segundo o acordado por Inglaterra e França pelo Tratado de Paris do ano anterior.
Dunquerque será definitivamente incorporada ao reino da França em 1662, depois que Carlos II da Inglaterra vende a cidade à França, por 5.000.000 libras - embora o pagamento nunca tenha sido completado.
A construção dos sistemas defensivos da cidade ficou a cargo do engenheiro militar Vauban, que também desenvolve o seu porto. Mais tarde, em 1713, pelo Tratado de Utrecht, a França será obrigada a inundar o porto e a arrasar as fortificações, o que entretanto não foi executado senão em parte, e Luís XV voltou a fortificá-la.
Em 1793, o duque de York tenta inutilmente tomar a cidade. Após a batalha de Hondschoote, a cidade é renomeada Duna Livre.
Durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial, Dunquerque é duramente bombardeada por diversas vezes. A Igreja de Santo Elói (construída em meados do século XV) é parcialmente destruída.
Mas a cidade sofreria especialmente durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, tendo sido palco da célebre Batalha de Dunquerque, em 1940. Uma pausa na intensidade dos combates permitiu inesperadamente a evacuação de um grande número de soldados franceses e britânicos para Inglaterra. Mais de 300.000 homens foram evacuados apesar do bombardeamento constante ("o milagre de Dunquerque", nas palavras de Winston Churchill). A evacuação britânica de Dunquerque recebeu o nome de código Operação Dínamo

Much to my amazement, a few of you have sent me private emails inquiring if I was doing the Chinese Word Game soon. Over the holidays, I've come up with a new series and some drawings.
Some Chinese words are based on pictograph/ pictogram/ pictogramme, which means the written words, at least at one point in history, resemble the icon, or ideogram, of the word's meaning.
I've drawn a few pictures here, as well as the modern writing of the word derived from the ideogram.
Please guess what the word(s) mean(s).
*** Those who understand Chinese language, please refrain from participating. ***
*** Also, please do not use internet apps to find the answer, that is cheating and defeats the whole idea of the game, don't you think?? ***
THANK YOU!

Description: A photograph of the business office of the typewriting department at The Royal Normal College for the Blind in Upper Norwood, England. Seven women are seated at desks, preparing typewritten documents. One woman appears to be reading out loud to the rest of the room from a book. Three of the women are brailling on shorthand writers. Long stretches of narrow white paper cascade off three of the desks and into waste paper baskets placed nearby. There is a man in the back of the room, reading a note. He is seated beneath a sign tacked to the wall that reads: "Typewriting done here, author's manuscripts, plays & parts copied, balance sheets, tabulated statements, etc., etc., mimeograph and duplicate work a specialty, estimates given". The handwritten label below the photograph reads, “Business Office of the Type-writing Department” and "18"

Historical note: When Sir Francis Campbell was in America in 1875, typewriters were just coming into general use. He at once realized that the machine would be of great use in the higher education of the blind, and in the report for that year, expressed the belief that it would furnish remunerative employment for blind girls. At first, typewriting was taught only to the pupils whose circumstances offered a prospect of their entrance into the office of some relative, but subsequently it was made a class subject, as it was found useful to senior students for notes of lessons, compositions and other work. It was not until a system of shorthand, and a machine for writing it was created, that typewriting for the blind became practical as a means for employment. The typewriting department was under the direction of Mr. H.D. Black, who added an advanced course to the curriculum, which included tabulating, duplicating and other copying, other specifications and the knowledge of the routine requirements of a commercial house.
Biographical note: Sir Francis Joseph Campbell (1832-1914) was one of the founders of the Royal Normal College and principal from 1872-1912. In 1857 he joined the staff of Perkins and was head of the music department for 11 years. In 1909, Campbell became a naturalized British subject and was knighted by King Edward VII to honor his contributions to the education of the blind.

I am lucky to have a diverse staff at my store, this is the "language board" I put up in our breakroom. I want a bigger board so I can do more common phrases as well . . .
PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. – Members of the Presidio’s largest Army unit, 229th Military Intelligence Battalion, attend Safety Day classes in Price Fitness Center here May 25.

The 2015 Bangkok bombing " took place inside the Erawan Shrine at the Ratchaprasong intersection in Pathum Wan District, Bangkok, Thailand on 17 August 2015. Twenty people died and 125 were injured. Surveillance footage showed a suspect leaving a backpack at the scene shortly before the explosion. To date, the suspect in the surveillance footage has not been arrested.
Prior incidents
Prior to this bombing incident, there were two other bombings in Thailand in the same year. In February 2015, two bombs exploded on the Ratchaprasong Skywalk outside the nearby Siam Paragon shopping mall, injuring three people. The attack was believed to have been politically motivated. In April 2015, a car bomb exploded in Ko Samui, injuring seven.
Attack
On 17 August 2015, at 18:55 ICT (11:55 UTC), a bomb exploded inside the grounds of the Erawan Shrine, near the busy Ratchaprasong Intersection in Bangkok's city centre. The Royal Thai Police said that 3 kilograms (6.6 lb) of TNT had been stuffed in a pipe and left under a bench near the outer rim of the grounds surrounding the shrine, and that an electronic circuit suspected to have been used in the attack was found 30 metres (98 ft) from the scene.
No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. The attacks are thought to have been targeting Thailand's tourism and economy.
Second incident
In a separate attack in Bangkok, an explosive device was thrown from a bridge near a boat pier shortly after 13:00 ICT on 18 August 2015, but it caused no injuries. The device, possibly a grenade, appeared to have been thrown at the busy Sathon pier in Bangkok but landed in water where it exploded. The district's deputy police chief said, "If it did not fall in the water then it certainly would have caused injuries." Some damage was done to the bridge.
Victims
Most of the victims of the explosion were tourists visiting the shrine. The Royal Thai Police reported that 20 people died and 125 had been injured. The dead included six Thais, five Malaysians, four mainland Chinese, two Hong Kongers (including one British national resident in Hong Kong), one Indonesian, and one Singaporean. In addition, citizens of Japan, Malaysia, the Maldives, Oman, the Philippines, Qatar and Taiwan were among those injured.
Suspects
Investigators said they were "certain" that a man shown leaving a backpack at the scene of the explosion was responsible for the blast. The security camera footage, which has been broadcast internationally, shows the man in shorts and a yellow t-shirt taking off a dark-coloured backpack while sitting on a bench and then standing up, putting the backpack underneath the bench and walking away while looking at his phone. The suspect likely had arrived by tuk-tuk from an alley near Hua Lamphong.
Thailand's chief of police said the attack was carried out by a network and issued a sketch of the suspect. Police are also saying that two other people seen in the same footage were being treated as suspects. The Thai government has said that it was "unlikely" to have been the work of an international terror group. Police said that at least 10 people are suspected of involvement in the attack.
Later on, a taxi driver confirmed that he picked up the suspect, however the suspect was "not in a hurry. He seemed to be calm, like a regular customer, and not Thai. He also spoke in an unclear language on the way.
Reaction
Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha called it the "worst-ever attack" on his country, saying, "there have been minor bombs or just noise, but this time they aim for innocent lives. They want to destroy our economy, our tourism.

The Erbore claim that they have always lived in their present territory. Together with the Burji, and the Konso, they speak Cushitic languages. The Erbore build their huts slightly oval in shape. They have a bodily mutilation of raised dots on the chest and abdomen. The Erbore believe in a Supreme Being creator and father of men whom they call Waq.
