The journey...

 It all started with a word....then it expanded into a sentence... and before you know it... u have the drive.. to read everything...careful to create  the music so beautiful...that u wanna cry...in a  passion so desirable.....which reels in love....BUT WHAT is love without understanding? What is love without knowing how it all works? love is not enough to stand on itz own....and so..the quest to understand becomes an aim....to drive one into a journey..a journey  of unrevealing that passion and love has meaning..and the meaning counts....

IT was my birthday when the journey started... like everything unknown...the heart pumped erratically...questions..uncertainty..fear..played into one's mind....questions formed in the mind which made one wonder whether it was the right decision....but then.... there was no looking back...looking ahead was what was decided....no matter what...

How do u learn when the language being learned is taught in a language one is not very well conversed in? Arabic is one of the 5 most difficult languages in the world (says one of my tutors at uni) and learning it from a turkish language was one of the scariest thing ever! i often asked myself... will i ever be able to pull it off? and at this age? i felt that i was too old to start learning again....


There were days when i wanted to quit... there were many many mornings where i studied for hours for the simplest things.... and i realized my memorization of the vocab is poor... i worked/work hard to memorize everything..all to no avail... i made sentences..some which made my teacher frowned...or maybe laughed...in panic...i lost the faculty to say even the simplest words.... but hardwork does pay off... i am far from good.. i am still trying to memorize the verbs and words and the grammar i had learned these 2 semesters... i am still bugging my teacher with my messages and phone calls... and i am looking forward to continuing my lessons next academic year...

What i learned is this..... i am lucky coz i have  a strong support system... i have a sweet teacher who is very patient in answering my at times nonsensical questions.... i have classmates who would help me with no questions asked...... i have a family who endured not having ironed  clothes at times.... so i have no excuse to not persevere.... and even now...as the meaning slowly makes sense... as the structure of words become clearer....  i will try to apply my syntax analysis skills learned in TESL in a language soooo fascinating that i think not learning it is a total waste of time..... my only enemy is time..time os of the essense that i am finding it difficult to study as my time is monopolized  by my responsibilities as a mother..a wife...a friend... a muslim....somehow...the responsibilites as a student simply take a back seat....whether i likes it or not...

Arabic is indeed worth crying and sweating over.... and insyaAllah in a few years time.. my vocabulary will strengthen to the level i dream of........


Thank You for hopping by. Hope to see you again soon... :0)
