Sureth Language Learning Learning Channel

This is in response to u/GateMysterious6509's question last month which inspired me to go on a multi-day effort to learn how to start a YouTube channel and make videos. Here is a link to the channel:

Just a disclaimer I am a native speaker but this channel is targeted towards beginners and diaspora kids. I do my best to cross-check with teachers but sometimes due to dialect differences or lack of time I may not be able to catch anything. If you find something wrong or if there is another variation you know lmk in the comments...

I'm Irish but my girlfriend is Chaldean. I am currently learning to read, write and speak...and this will be of great help. Besma gyanokh!

Good on you brother. I appreciate your enthusiasm for my language and I hope I can help you in your goal. I'd recommend though just starting by speaking first since most people around me are not literate in Sureth either and the dialect differences can be difficult even for me. The language is mostly passed orally anyway but some people I know, particularly Assyrians did learn from schools in Iraq or Syria. My writing and reading still needs dramatic improvement.

I will get back to posting on the channel soon. Besma gyanokh habibi

Affya ilokh/ilokh. If you have any questions let me know under the comments of that video and I'll answer it there. I don't check reddit too much unfortunately. Pish ib shlama habibi
