Learning languages like the Kuwaiti Arabic Language

Hello! it has been a year since I have written my first two blogs and it is amazing how time flies. I was just looking at my blogs and thought maybe I could start writing more again. I do enjoy writing blogs but life had become hectic and I completely forgot to write more blogs.

Where shall I start, I have so much to share but let's start with languages first. I am a fan of languages. I am always eager to learn about other languages and dialects. I like to be able to say words in other languages. It fascinates me when I hear other nationalities speaking foreign languages. I would like to be able to know what they are talking about. I would like to be able to speak a foreign language aside from my own language(Tagalog). That is why I was so glad that I went to school and learnt the English language. The English language is not easy enough to learn but I think because I was young, enthusiastic and has good memory at the time, I was able to grasp what my teachers taught me about the English language and for that I was forever grateful to my father who encouraged me to go to school and learn. My father is my hero. I love him so much.

Anyway, there is another language which I learnt without going to school for it and that is the Kuwaiti Arabic language. As I have mentioned in my previous blog, this language I have learnt thru working in Kuwait. I can't write the Kuwaiti Arabic Alphabet but I can speak it. It took me three months and maybe more to learn it. It is a complicated language to learn, but with my employers and employer's kids help, I manage to learn it.

In my next blog, I will start sharing some spoken Kuwaiti language with you all. Bye for now.

Dear All, I just want to let you know that the Kuwaitis also use swear words in Kuwait like any other country.
