Who runs Arabic for Nerds?
Gerald Drißner (Drissner), an award-winning journalist and economist, who was born in 1977 and grew up in the Austrian Alps (النِمْسا), where modern skiing was invented. But this is not the story here.
Gerald is addicted to Arabic.
He has lived in the Middle East and North Africa for more than a decade where he has studied Arabic extensively. Gerald wanted to share his passion for Arabic with others and create a place where people could learn and share information about this wonderful language.
That is why Gerald Drißner founded Arabic for Nerds in 2015. Since then, he has been writing about fascinating and interesting things related to Arabic.
