I have mixed roots, and I live in London. I already speak Czech, English, Hindi, Marathi, French and a bit of Japanese. Basically I love languages and meeting people around the world...I also love music and photography..I have always been fascinated by the Arabic language and would love to speak it. I currently know a few words, and recognise the alphabet, but would love to further my skills in the language. I'm willing to exchange my knowledge of English for Arabic.... Any takers..? I recently travelled to SARDENIA, and fell in love with the island and its people. I have decided to learn Italian so I can communicate with them...please help :)

    I agree that there is a lot of pain in this world...but we cannot give up on the good.

    There is always something bad for the same amount of good. 

    There are lot of people trying to make things right...lets look at the bright side of life.

    If there was no bad, good people would be out of work.

    Lets greet the New Year with positive spirit and Happiness, another chance to set things right, another day, another light... and ask God to give us the strenght to sustain.

     

    This is a beautiful and well known prayer :

     

    "God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change,
    courage to change the things we can,
    and wisdom to know the difference."

    Thank you everyone for sharing your feelings..

    Bruce, you seem to live in the 'moment' and enjoy what it offers you..

    How lucky you are, to be surrounded by such treasures..and then to be able to immerse yourself into them!

    Age is nothing but a state of mind...I wish I can remain a child at heart always!

    Has something you did recently, made you feel like a child?

    Yesterday, I got caught in a shower of rain.

    I live in London, where getting caught in a rain is not a big deal, as its mainly drizzle, rather than rain and you can brush it off. Some carry little folded umbrellas that are light and come in handy on such occasions.

     

    But Yesterday I got caught unexpectedly! I had no bag on me as i was running in the park...only my music...so I increased my pace as I turned towards home..and as I ran, I got drenched through and through... I wasn't expecting a strong shower on a cold winters day at all!

    Usually this would be a unwelcome surprise, but for some reason, as the cold water dripped from my face and my hair. I was happy...

    I was transported into my childhood, when I would intentionally run out into the warm tropical rains to get wet...turn round in circles and sing silly rhymes and laugh...I felt light and my heart soared with innocent happiness..

     

    Have you experienced something recently that made u nostalgic for your childhood...or made you skip your heart with simple happiness ? Or become silly?

    Thank you, Ahmed and Oussama, again :)

    I now have a better perspective on the dialects and their origins :) 

    Your advice has definately been an eyeopener. Its very useful indeed!

    Yes, Misaki, I would agree with you to a certain extent. But to a beginner who cannot distinguish between the dialects...its important to have opinions. Unfortunately the choice is not as clear as it seems. I'm actually happy to have different point of views as there are dialects...

    It is me who will finally decide. I don't favour any perticular country to another...The whole Arab world is fascinating and diverse..and this diversity is interesting...every part has something to offer and is  filled with rich experiences. I'd like to travel and connect with people and then make up what part I prefer more. But I cannot do that until I know the language...language is the key that opens many doors and facilitates the understanding of culture, people and their roots.

    I think you have hit the nail on its head..so to say :)

    Resolved all my queries...have been like a yo-yo this past month Egyptian to MSA... 

    I guess its popular vs practicle..

    Doesnt make learning Arabic easier...From MSA to then learning dialects...already the missing tashkeels make it a guessing game! But I enjoy the challenge.

    Thank you :)

    When you say beautiful..do you mean its sounds beautiful to the ear? 

    Or is it richer in vocabulary...more poetic?

    And if one was learning to speak Arabic, would you advise to start with MSA verses choosing to speak a dilaect? Why?
