Self-taught twins to study Arabic
This Friday (16) in your ANBA Bulletin: Brazilian six-year-old twins Filipe and Lorenzo Barros started learning Arabic on their own when they were just two. On a visit to the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) in São Paulo earlier this week, they got a scholarship to study Arabic. Egypt has adopted some regulations in the last few years that impact Brazilian exports. These and the opportunities in the Egyptian market for processed foods were the topic of a webinar held earlier this week by ABIA and the ABCC. The exhibition “Desvairar 22” is taking place at SESC Pinheiros in São Paulo featuring a sarcophagus from 3,000 BC and a charge by cartoon artist Laerte on the sphynx. In Beirut, Lebanon, an exhibition will open next Wednesday (24) with material on the Brazilian emperor Dom Pedro II’s travels in the nineteenth century. A conference on the topic will take place on September 29. |
