Title: #TeamMaha: Blog about Learning and Speaking Arabic
Body:
From http://teammaha.com/about/
The goal of the #TeamMaha blog is to make the process of learning and speaking Arabic “a bit less maddening,” whether that be through offering language study advice, detailed vocabulary and grammar notes, or a bit of much-needed comic relief. The bloggers focus mainly on Egyptian Arabic (Team Maha) and Syrian Arabic (Team Nisreen), but you’ll also find posts on Modern Standard Arabic, Moroccan Arabic, Iraqi Arabic and other dialects.
#TeamMaha is available at http://teammaha.com/

Title: Miniature Japanese Cooking Videos
Body:
The Miniature Space YouTube Channel includes a collection of tiny Japanese meals being prepared in a tiny model kitchen with tiny implements and utensils. This could be a fun way to spice up lessons on Japanese foods, plus since they videos don’t have any narration, a teacher or students can provide the narration for comprehensible input or speaking practice.
The collection of videos is available at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZexQ2BK_Np9HuzQzbeFnRa0JruOtSWtv
