'I wish' .... I was fluent in another language in addition to English, and it would be Moroccan Arabic!
This was really easy for me since Adam's Moroccan and speaks Moroccan. I hate that my conversations with his family are very limited and I wish I could speak Moroccan and talk to his mom. We both try really hard to talk with each other over the phone (she's in Casablanca) but sometimes we just can't understand each other and it would be nice to actually have a conversation when she comes to visit. It also would help just to know another language that I hear everyday. I mean I know some words and sentances but most of the time I have no idea, especially when he talks to friends or family that is here, their conversations are a mix of French, Moroccan, English, and Arabic, I have no idea how they do it. Maybe one day I will finally know enough Moroccan to speak more than, "hey, how are you?" and "the weather is nice today" -haha.
What language would you like to speak?

Wow! I bet your conversations with that mix of languages are pretty interesting. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that language just sounds beautiful. You should definitely learn.
ReplyDeleteStopping by via Kelsey's blog. :) You have an excellent point. :) Limited conversations are difficult to handle, think of, deal with, you name it. Half of my family's Turkish, and my Turkish is so so...but when it comes to the more difficult topics we all switch between English, Turkish, French, German and some Spanish too...whatever comes along we grap onto it and make it happen. But it would be a lot easier to stick to one. ;) So I understand you wanting to learn Moroccan Arabic. One day for sure. Plus, I think it's great to know "less common" languages...haha.
ReplyDeleteMy family speaks Polish and my husband constantly thinks we are talking about him. I will randomly throw his name in to conversations now just to amuse myself!
ReplyDeleteMy cousin has the same problem with her husbands family (they are all from Turkey and don't speak any english) and she has been trying to learn their language. Good luck with it ( :
ReplyDeleteI've heard Arabic is one of the most difficult languages to learn in adulthood. Good luck! I'm sure you'll get the hang of it eventually.
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you guys are so multi-ethnic!
That seems like it would be interesting to speak!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wed!
That's a great goal to have since you're around people speaking it on a regular basis! I would love to learn Japanese!
ReplyDeleteOh this would be quite interesting. I think submerging yourself in the language would be the best way to learn it! Amazing!
