Hi everyone, curious question for the polyglots here. I work in tech and studied computer science, but I also speak six languages: Kurdish, Arabic, Turkish, Portuguese, German, and English.

I’d love to find a way to turn these language skills into actual income, ideally something on the side or a career path of its own. I know embassy jobs are often an option for multilingual people, but most of them require a degree in political science or international relations, which I don’t have. On top of that, a lot of translation work seems to have been taken over by AI these days, so I’m not sure how viable that path still is.

What are some realistic ways to make money with this kind of language combination? Interpretation, teaching, remote work, freelancing, anything that isn’t just plain translation… I’m open to ideas. Would love to hear from people who’ve done something similar.

Hey everyone, I’ve always dreamed of exploring the Amazon rainforest, and I’m planning to use my annual vacation (up to 20 days) to finally do it. The catch is I’d be going alone, and from what I’ve read, joining an organized group tour still raises some safety concerns if you don’t already know people in the group.

Has anyone here done a solo trip to the Amazon through a tour agency? I’d love an honest, objective take on what to expect: how safe it really is, how tours typically handle solo travelers, and any tips for getting the most out of it. If you can share rough prices too, that would be a huge help.

The Syrian authorities have arrested Pastor Nihad Hassan, pastor of the Kurdish Evangelical Church in Beirut, in connection with certain social media posts attributed to him. He is currently being detained at the Afrin Central Civil Prison, and his case has been referred to the judicial authorities in Aleppo, according to confirmation from his attorney.
It is worth noting that Pastor Nihad Hassan is originally from the Afrin region of Syria, specifically from the village of Kordan in the Jindires district. He embraced the Christian faith (Evangelical Church) in 2008 and has since played a significant role in providing spiritual care and humanitarian assistance to those in need in Lebanon, Syria, and many other countries—a ministry he continues to carry out.

There is absolutely no truth to the reports circulated by certain social media pages claiming that his wife has also been detained.

While we call upon the authorities to immediately release Pastor Nihad Hassan, we also urge all social media pages to exercise accuracy and caution before publishing any information concerning him. We consider this page to be the primary and official source of information for everyone seeking updates regarding Pastor Nihad.

As a church, we ask all brothers and sisters in Christ, as well as all churches, to unite with us in prayer.

"So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him."
Acts 12:5
