Can Going to the Gym Make you Deaf? (2) Posted by on Jan 18, 2015 in Arabic Language, Culture

Marhaba! Were you as shocked as I was to learn about some of the ills with loud music at the gym? By all means, shedding pounds at the gym should not endanger your hearing. Needless to say, lively music is an excellent tool that makes workouts and gym classes easier. However, the bottom line is that everything in excess is useless. So be careful next time you pump up the music on your phone, tablet, or music player! In this post, I want to provide you with the answers.I’ve added the video again to refresh your memory.

I always want to reiterate that listening comprehension exercises are important because as you have seen they involve listening to native speakers discuss different topics, as well as getting introduced to different dialects in the Arabic language. I find that different types of comprehension exercises are among some of the many smart ways to learn Arabic and are crucially important for learning adeptly. Given that we’re talking about lively music at the gym, I want to share my all-time favorite song that gets me pumped up every single time: Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. It is extremely popular and I am sure you recognize it from the popular Sylvester Stallone movie series called Rocky!! I’ve also shared a video of some great clips from the Rocky series! Enjoy!!!

Salam everyone! Born as an American to two originally Arab parents, I have been raised and have spent most of my life in Beirut, Lebanon. I have lived my good times and my bad times in Beirut. I was but a young child when I had to learn to share my toys and food with others as we hid from bombs and fighting during the Lebanese Civil War. I feel my connection to Arabic as both a language and culture is severing and so it is with you, my readers and fellow Arabic lovers, and through you that I wish to reestablish this connection by creating one for you.
