Hello everyone...

This is going to be my final blog, I hope you have enjoyed the previous blog as much as I enjoyed writing them. Today I will be writing about what I have learned this semester and about my plans for the coming semester. Keep reading and enjoy!


This semester is one of the challenging semesters that I have learned a lot from specifically the Professional Writing course where I learned some communication skills to use in the field work and how to write a resume, a cover letter, a memo and an email to my colleagues at work. I have already applied some of the things I learned in my life, for instance, last month I applied for an internship and a CV and a cover letter were required so I applied what I learned to write these and checked them with my great professor who helped me perfect them. Also, writing a report of Qatar economic development taught me new things about Qatar and how it overcame the blockade from turning it from a crisis to a beneficial thing to Doha’s development. Overall, the course overall was light and helpful.








One year is exactly what’s left for me to graduate, I am very excited for next semester as I’m applying for an internship as a translator and hopefully, I get accepted. I’m also excited about presenting in April our research that we have been working on with one of my great professors in the Linguistics in the Gulf conference which going to add to my experiences. I’m looking forward for the next semester and I hope it will be a great and full of new experiences semester for everyone. 














See ya!

Qatar Economic Development  For the past couples of weeks, my group and I have been working on a report about Qatar economic development. In the report we talked about Qatar vision 2030, Qatar after the blockade, and two important projects that helped in the growth of the economy; and they are Baladna and Lusail City. The blockade was meant to affect Qatar’s economy and making it helpless in front of the siege counties. However, Qatar was able to prove itself and its economic strength in overcoming this crisis by finding new partnerships and working on local projects such as Baladna. Baladna is a private business established by Alkhayyat family. Baladna sells 100% Qatari dairy products and after the blockade, Qatar supported it more to cover the shortage in dairy products after they were cut by Saudi Arabia. More than 3,000 cows were shipped to Qatar and the market was filled with local dairy products which helped in the growth of the economy.  Furthermore...

A peek into a linguist life in Doha

Welcome to my blog! In this blog I will be talking about myself, my career and my goals in the future.. My name is Shahed and I am a Jordanian student majoring in English linguistics and minoring in translation at Qatar University. I come from a culture that has a huge part in shaping who I am and how I think, my passion for learning and know knew languages was with me since I was 15 years old and that's when I had a friend who taught herself a new language and became fluent in it which made me even more eager to do something and to take a step forward into what I love. She inspired me that anyone can do anything, so I started learning Spanish and watching and reading more in Spanish, I wouldn't say that I'm even good at it yet, but I always try to find the time to learn more and more. This takes us to why I chose to be a linguist, because I find it enjoyable and a great major that improves me as a person, because it introduces other languages and cultures to me and t...

Qatar Vision 2030  In this blog, I will be talking about two of the coming projects that will fulfil Qatar’s vision for 2030. The first project is Lusail City and the second is Qatar Rail, I chose to talk about these two in specific because these are the most I’m excited about and they are going to be completed very soon.  Lusail City  Lusail City is one of the largest sustainable cities in Doha with its astonishing concepts and modernity it is the typical illustration of what Qatar’s vision in 2030. The city extends across an area  of 38 km and has four islands, one of them is Qetaifan island where luxurious waterfront living meets and where people can relax and enjoy spa treatments, tennis courts and pools. Furthermore, Lusail City is going to have entertainment and commercial districts with breathtaking architectural construction, commercial towers and avenues. This project will be completed by 2019 which is very exciting. I personally would love t...
