Welcome to my website! My name is Yusuf Salah Elhajjar. I am a Norwegian citizen, originally from Palestine. I was born in Gaza City on 4th December 1981. I have been living in Norway since 2007, and I am in love with Norway. I do speak three languages: Arabic, English and Norwegian, and I work as a teacher of English and as a trilingual translator/interpreter. I built this non-commercial website, by myself, because I strongly believe that knowledge should be for free. I update the contents of this website regularly, so keep visiting it from time to time, if you are interested in languages. You can read below the 10 aims of this modest website.
As for my academic qualifications, I hold an MA degree in Arabic/English translation from Durham University in the U.K in the year 2005. Actually, I was so glad that I could finish off my Master's degree in 10 months and graduate with distinction! I managed to do my MA degree by obtaining a full merit-based scholarship organized by Durham Palestine Educational Trust in the UK.
In addition, I hold a BA degree in English language and literature (1999-2003) from the Islamic University in Gaza. I managed to do my BA degree after obtaining a full four-year, merit-based, Presidential scholarship, which was a reward for scoring the highest grades over all male students in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, when I graduated from high school with the average 96,2% in the literary stream in 1999. If you would like to know more about me, just visit my online CV.
This Website has 10 aims:
(1) To pass on what I have gained in Britain to the next generations by posting all my Arabic/English translations to be read by students of English.
(2) To help all foreigners living in Norway to learn the Norwegian Language in a short time through the best interactive Norwegian books and to have an easy access to extremely needed Websites for anyone living in Norway.
(3) To support English language teachers worldwide. For this purpose, I have compiled very useful English learning/teaching materials that help both teachers in preparing for their lessons and students in mastering the four language skills through self-study materials.
(4) To make available to my fellow English<>Arabic translators the BEST online dictionaries which can be utilized in the process of translating Arabic and English texts. Here is a list of the best online Arabic/English dictionaries.
(5) To provide customers (companies and individuals) with a high-quality (English/Arabic) translation service for a reasonable price, in the following fields: media, politics, law, finance, literature, environment, history, psychology, philosophy, religion, education, health, tourism, agriculture, commercial contracts, brochures and all types of certificates.
(6) To organize a free online Arabic language course for anybody interested in learning Arabic and understanding the Arabic and Islamic culture.
(7) To promote peace and democracy and increase people's knowledge of important incidents from the human history by posting a series of documentary films to my Culture House.
(8) To save the time and effort of every Internet user, whether professional or novice, by creating a golden webpage that would include the most practical, indispensable links. So, don't forget to visit this list of extremely useful links.
(9) To offer Arab children all over the world fun and entertainment through watching and listening to a wide variety of international stories and tales from different cultures to help spread knowledge and heritage of countries and humanity in general.
(10) To offer help, advice and guidance to all students concerning problems of Arabic/English translation. Contact me if you have any inquiry, comment or idea.
Finally, I would like to extend my greetings and gratitude to my former supervisor, Dr. James Dickins, for his invaluable teaching. Dr. Dickins is a unique professor, no wonder he is the author of the famous translation book Thinking Arabic Translation.
