House of Wisdom Launches Cultural Courses

The 'Wisdom Speaks' initiative in Sharjah offers language courses in Spanish, Japanese, and French, aimed at fostering cultural understanding and personal development. Courses include interactive workshops, cultural presentations, and culinary classes, with the Spanish course starting on October 13 and the Japanese course commencing soon after. In a separate discussion, the importance of crafting authentic dialogue in fiction is emphasized, highlighting that each line should contribute meaningfully to character development and plot advancement. The art of dialogue involves balancing realism with readability, ensuring that characters have distinct voices. Meanwhile, a podcast featuring Yola Kipcak discusses the need for a class-based approach to liberation, critiquing identity politics within the cultural discourse. Lastly, a local news segment highlights a book by former judge Beverly Scarlett, detailing the history of free communities of color in 19th-century Orange County.
