Its hugely challenging kicking off new neural pathways as we learn something new, but also exciting, frustrating and worth every single second of effort you put into it. As even though people may persist in talking to you in English, you are still surrounded by the language, and immersion always helps. And yay you for the little things like being able to respond no in Arabic - which when you come down to it, aren't necessarily quite so little, but are actually a massive step forward on this learning journey.Shonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06682375259803431061noreply@blogger.com
