Real learning experience

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah.

It's been awhile now, and now i have the time and the opportunity to update my blog.

Maybe some of you already know, or maybe not. Now I am studying at Centre For Foundation Studies of International Islamic University Malaysia or CFS IIUM.

Course? Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Heritage. Don't know what is IRK? go google it by yourself. im not going to tell you everything.


so its been three weeks here in PJ, with two weeks of classes.

the things is that, most of my classes are language classes, that are English class and Arabic class.
i dont really mindf about english class since my english is not that bad, but arabic class, oh goodness.

both my lecturers talk and explain in arabic! only sometimes they use english or malay words since they are both foreigners. but still!
I am having a hard time to translate what they are saying and really really struggling to cope with this particular subject.

so here, eventhough i learnt arabic throughout my secondary school years, its still not enough. why? because at school the ustaz ustazah dont speak arabic, you dont speak arabic even if you learn them in class. we learn arabic but in malay. you used arabic but not practically.

so here, we really use arab language in class. we talk in arab ( well aside from talking with friends ), we learn how to read how to write in arabic.
even theres arabic debate club here!


maybe i can do this. i can struggle and do my best for my arab language, since my course subjects are in arabic.


hmm...
and thanks to perri for giving me the spirit to keep up my pace in learning arabic even though it is to tiring. glad to have a sis like you .


thats all i think.
goodnight and assalam
