I’ve made a shortcode for cloze questions to help with making the language posts on this blog — especially for Tunisian Arabic.
Cloze deletions are fill-in-the-blank questions where part of the sentence is hidden, typically for testing recall or active vocabulary. They’re useful for language learners, and I wanted a way to easily format them in Hugo using Markdown without needing raw HTML in every post.
Recently, I’ve started trying to learn Darija, the Moroccan dialect of Arabic. I’m going to try to keep some of my notes here.
I do need to figure out some things to reduce the friction of note taking - like how to type Arabic on the computer. I don’t have an Arabic keyboard. Currently, my process involves writing in Obsidian on my phone and then copying from the synced version. I also want to find an easy solution for audio - for pronunciation.
