ސައްޙަ ނޫން ޚަބަރެއް
A short in Maldivian text at level B1. The translation sits next to it: reading with a dictionary is still too early at this level, and without support it will not happen at all. Last week talks went around the island that the pier is being closed. Many knew this news by hearsay, without proof.…

Many knew this news by hearsay, without proof. When they called the port office, there they said it was a lie. Then it came out that it had been written on the basis of a fake photograph. The conclusion from this is clear: not everything you see is reliable.

Frequently asked
What level do you need to read this text in Maldivian?
B1. That means: you know the letters and have a stock of everyday words — about two or three hundred.
How to read a text in an unfamiliar language usefully?
First all the way through without peeking at the translation — just to catch the familiar words. Then with the translation. Then all the way through again: the second pass brings noticeably more, and that feeling matters more than any rule.
