Sorry if this audio reading is not as good as others I have previously produced, recording process was difficult, and at the moment i have no help in terms of video and audio editing. As a result of these things there will be mispronounced names, stutters and breakages in my reading of the text, and for this i apologise. hopefully one day I can go back and re-record this video with not only better audio quality, but also with better pronunciation and edits to make the whole thing clearer.
All that being said I sincerely hope you enjoy the video, and, if you do, be sure to leave a like, and subscribe if you want to hear more.

Thank you, I am glad you found it helpful!
Thaank you so much for reading it. For my small brain it was difficult to read and understand it together. Though it still is difficult for me to understand but the read along made it so much easier for me. It has so many references to so many works and concepts that I've never heard before.
Definitely enjoyed this - it enabled me to reflect on Said's theories whilst I was carrying out other research. Thanks so much for taking this task on! :)
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it and found it helpful. I will try to upload part 2 soon.
Look forward for more chapters... thanks so much
I'm happy you enjoyed it. I will upload more when i can. Im currently busy with my studies at the moment though, so it may take a while. Apologies for the delay.
Thank you for reading this! Really helped to understand everything better !

Thank you, hope you will be able to continue reading chapters as our library is still under pandemic restrictions
I will try to upload more soon, once I've finished my studies. Im really happy that these videos are helpful in this way. Take care and stay safe.
Hi, are you Vietnamese? Would you like to consider talking about Vietnamese writers such as Nguyen Tuan, Vu Trong Phung, Ho Xuan Huong, Nguyen Du, etc.?
Thanks for your uploads nhé :)
Hi, no I am not, I will take a look at those writers in the future, however uploads might not happen, as I do not have a lot of time to make content at the moment. Thank you!

Thanks so much for this! You really saved me, as I need to read this for uni but I just couldn't get through it :(
As well for your pronunciation of "Die Arabischen Studien in Europa bis in den Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts" or: die (as in the English pronunciation) arbenschweiger in Europa bis in den anfang TWENTY jach/gh hundert hahahaha
I'm just joking but thanks! I was losing focus and this made me laugh so hard I could concentrate again haha
