BTW it takes a few seconds to get ChatGPT to generate a text and translation -- based on your list of matching items -- that will make your TextActivities VOCAB resource so-o-o-o much more powerful... #mfltwitterati #langchat #flteach #mflchat

E.g. this prompt: "Write me a short text for first year students of French (aged 11-12) whose primary aim is to practise the vocab shown below:" + the vocab items in L1 / L2 Once you are happy with the text, ask it for a translation too #mfltwitterati #langchat #mflchat #flteach

Then paste the L2 into the text box & the L1 into the parallel text box, set the L2 text as the parallel text for match activities, and you've >doubled the number of activities available, + provided TONS of vocab-in-context text-based activities #mfltwitterati #langchat #mflchat

Breve recordatorio: Irán no tiene bomba atómica; Israel sí. Es decir, el país que está cometiendo un genocidio, que bombardea Líbano, Yemen e Irán, que asesina civiles sin freno, que mata periodistas, que está gobernado por fascistas sedientos de sangre, tiene bomba atómica.

🇮🇱We obtained documents revealing how a UK company has sent over 1,000 ammo cases to Israel amid the Gaza genocide. The cases were delivered to an Elbit Systems factory which produces mortars for the IDF. declassifieduk.org/permoid/

.Christiane Amanpour explains that Iran wanted to make deal with the US & its delegation was feeling optimistic over the next round of talks. Note, one of Israels frst targets when they launched their unprovoked attack on Iran was the head of the Iranian delegation

The war on Iran isn't really about nukes — if it was they would've kept the nuclear deal in place, which was working as intended. The Gaza holocaust isn't really about Hamas or hostages — if it was they would've just targeted Hamas or negotiated a hostage deal. It's all lies.

Sumar está muerto. La cloacas mediáticas impulsan a la extrema derecha con todos sus BULOS. La corrupción de PSOE y PP solo pasa factura al primero. La única opción de que no gobierne el Fascismo es volver a levantar a Podemos

Feeling even his Western sponsors turn against him Netanyahu attacked Iran to shift our attention. We have a duty to keep ALL EYES & EARS trained ON GAZA. Ignore the war with Iran. Iranians can defend themselves. Palestinians need us to KEEP TALKING GAZA! aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/16…

On June 13, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that an Iranian nuclear strike on Israel would be like "10,000 tons of TNT falling on a country the size of New Jersey." Since October 2023, Israel has dropped an estimated 70,000 tonnes of explosives on Gaza – an area

One of the things the Zionists accuse me of (you can see their docs on the public portal of the Federal Court of Australia), is peddling conspiracy theories, namely that an Israel Lobby exists, and that it somehow influences or controls US Foreign Policy. Mearsheimer and Pappe

Podemos, en 11 años, cero corrupción. El problema es el bipartidismo porque la corrupción es su forma de gobierno. Así lo he podido dejar claro esta mañana.

I saw this man being interviewed on TV. I guess they invited him on thinking he would say the opposite. We looked at each other and both said, " He won't be on again"

España no es una democracia plena. Hoy el PP y el PSOE se han peleado en el pleno de Europa como si se tratase de ver quién es el “corrupto ejemplar”. Mientras a los que sí luchan para defender la democracia se les persigue con guerra sucia judicial.

Just heard Giles Fraser, who is a vicar, on Radio 4's Moral Maze, claiming that there was a moral case for Israel to launch its unprovoked attack on Iran and that Israel had a moral case to ignore international law! Wtf? It seems this vicar gives Israel's terrorism a free pass.

'He's insisting on playing up tensions.' Grace Blakeley warns that Keir Starmer's 'absurd rhetoric' on the conflict in the Middle East is straight out of the Tony Blair playbook.

“Why should the world tolerate you having nuclear weapons and not Iran?” Israeli official: “We suffered one Holocaust.” “Is it because of the Holocaust you should be allowed to have nuclear weapons?” *Israeli official ends interview*
